When you're feeling low, enlist the help that really helps.....
|
|
|
When your mood drops for no known reason, the best help you can give yourself is a generous dose of compassion. Talk to your mood directly (silently, unless you want to raise eyebrows around you...). "You're having a rough time. It's okay. Sometime ....

When your young child says he hates his life......
|

When a very young child says, "I hate my life; I want to kill myself," parents naturally become alarmed. They are shocked that a small child is expressing such deep emotional pain. They also wonder whether the child is actually capable of hurting h ....

Whatever you water, grows.....

Whatever you pay attention to, you will see more of. The more you comment on a child's problem behaviors, the more you'll see of them. The more you comment on his appropriate behaviors, the more you'll see of those. (It works the same for spouses.) ....

Teach your child to de-escalate.....

If it's hard for adults to manage their anger, we can understand that it is even HARDER for kids! They are even more impulsive and reactive than we are. Helping them learn to step back requires our good model of course. Let's imagine for a moment t ....

Help your child live a better, healthier life.....

Introducing kids to calming activities is good for both them and you! It teaches them how to calm their nerves in constructive ways, helping to prevent the development of destructive, addictive "calming" habits later on. Expose them to rock paintin ....

Some parents hate saying "no," because they cannot tolerate their child's temporary displeasure, disappointment or, in some cases, outrage. Nonetheless, "no" is the right answer on so many occasions. Therefore, say it with confidence. "No" is there ....

If you want to know how your child feels when you raise your voice, try to remember exactly how YOU felt when your mother or father spoke loudly to you. The best way to do this is to sit still for a minute, close your eyes, and bring to mind a time ....
