Easy-Does-It Wake-Up Routine
|
|
|
Don't wake up your older child or teen. Just say "good morning," and then move on. Why ruin your morning and your child's with repeated calls to wake-up, followed by a series of increasingly agitated threats and remarks. Instead, don't get involved ....

Home, contrary to public opinion, is not where you can be yourself - unless, of course, your "self" is utterly delightful. If it isn't, then home is a place where you can pretend to be what you wish you really were - patient, loving, sensitive, und ....

Restore yourself in one minute or less

It's hard to do anything well when you're exhausted - including parenting. If you're having trouble getting all the sleep you need, and your schedule doesn't permit a daily nap, don't rely on coffee and sugar snacks to give you energy. Instead, eve ....

Ever feel like you're about to lose it?

When you feel like you're going to snap, pay attention to that feeling. It is your inner call for help. Something inside is agitated, overwhelmed, at its very limit. Please go take care of it, because it needs you. Tune in and listen to what it has ....

Anger is a feeling - not a discipline tool. First settle your feeling, and THEN, come back to educate your child. Use any educational tool that may be appropriate including teaching, explaining, demonstrating, illustrating, role-playing, applying n ....

Connect BEFORE you correct

Children have a different view - they see you as you affect THEM. It's hard for them to see you as a full human being, a busy person with many different responsibilities and a person in your own right with your own human needs. This difference in p ....

Are you accidentally teaching your child to argue?
|
|

When you argue with your child, you teach your child to argue with YOU. Never say anything more than twice.

Your face is your child's mirror - when he looks into it he sees himself, reflected through your smile or your frown. Is your child usually looking into friendly, approving eyes? If he finds it hard to win your smile, what will he eventually conclu ....
