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.

With a child, “YOU DECIDED” IS ESSENTIAL!!! One of the BIGGEST PARENTING MISTAKES is to use “I”— “I” am sending you to time-out rather than YOU DECIDED to go to time-out BECAUSE . . . “I” am taking your toy rather than YOU DECIDED to not have your toy BECAUSE . . . YOU DECIDED helps a Child Accept Responsibility for their DECISIONS and thus MAKE BETTER CHOICES in the future!!!
