Many parents strive for PERFECTION in themselves and their children. The effects of perfectionism can be DEVASTATING EMOTIONALLY, BEHAVIORALLY, and RELATIONALLY. Every person is imperfect, and MISTAKES are great LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES for everyone, including a CHILD!!! WELCOME Mistakes and Disobedience as OPPORTUNITIES to Guide a child toward RESPONSIBLE DECISION-MAKING!!!

PARENTS NEVER SAY “I” WITH CONSEQUENCES!

PARENTS NEVER SAY “I” WITH CONSEQUENCES! When a parent says “I” that infers CONTROL and a PARENT WINS and the CHILD LOSES. For example, I AM SENDING YOU TO TIME-OUT. When giving a CONSEQUENCE a healthy comment to a child is, YOU DECIDED to go to timeout. YOU DECIDED is a vital parenting skill as well as helping a child understand responsibility.

TIME-OUT WITH AN APOLOGY AND OBEDIENCE STATEMENT!

Time-out is probably the most used parenting tool. Rather than use the minute-per-age rule, with a TIME-OUT I believe an APOLOGY and OBEDIENCE STATEMENT is ABSOLUTELY BEST! 1st, a child APOLOGIZES, “I am sorry I did not listen. WILL YOU PLEASE FORGIVE ME?” 2nd, “I am ready to obey and make a better decision.” Then, a child may leave time-out!

MONTHLY DATE YOUR CHILD!!!

Numerous parents have told me that a MONTHLY DATE has been unbelievable in ENHANCING their PARENT-CHILD relationship! A MONTHLY DATE YOUR CHILD doesn’t have to be expensive--an ice cream cone, shake, walk around the park. NEVER DISCUSS PROBLEMS and your child will absolutely look forward to your MONTHLY ONE-ON-ONE DATES!

FAMILY MEALS TOGETHER MAKE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE!!!

FAMILY MEALS TOGETHER AT THE TABLE make a POSITIVE DIFFERENCE!!! When a child is struggling behaviorally or academically, family meals are often not eaten together and that causes a child to feel neglected and insecure in all aspects of life. As often as possible, FAMILIES NEED TO EAT MEALS TOGETHER AT THE TABLE for AMAZING RESULTS! The meals together are to be relaxing, enjoyable experiences for every family member.
