WITH A CHILD, “YOU DECIDED” IS ESSENTIAL!!!

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!!!

ASK A CHILD POLITELY, “WILL YOU PLEASE . . .”

ASK A CHILD POLITELY, “WILL YOU PLEASE . . .” with most requests for OBEDIENCE. One EFFECTIVE WAY to provide a decision-making opportunity for a child is to ask WILL YOU PLEASE . . . SENTENCES ARE THE EXCEPTION because sentences feel DEMANDING to a child. WILL YOU PLEASE increases the likelihood of compliance and OBEDIENCE from a child because he or she is MAKING THEIR OWN DECISION rather than being told what to do. A Parenting Goal is to help a child become an EXCELLENT DECION-MAKER!!!

In a SATISFYING, HAPPY MARRIAGE there are GOOD TIMES and NOT SO GOOD TIMES. To remember that Key Concept, a husband and wife can enhance their marriage by saying to each other, “There are times when I will disappoint you” and “There are times when you will disappoint me.” Always VIEW EACH OTHER other through KIND and FORGIVING EYES!!!

DISCIPLINE A CHILD DECISIVELY AND CONSISTENTLY!

DISCIPLINE A CHILD DECISIVELY AND CONSISTENTLY! The #1 PROBLEM for most parents is giving a child NUMEROUS CHANCES to make an obedient, responsible decision. An Indecisive and Inconsistent Parent often becomes frustrated and ends up disciplining a child in harmful ways. The KEY TO EFFECTIVE DISCIPLINE is to be Decisive and Consistent by giving a MAXIMUM OF 2 REQUESTS for OBEDIENCE!

ALL YOUR RELATIONSHIPS ARE IMPERFECT!!!

ALL YOUR RELATIONSHIPS ARE IMPERFECT!!! Happy, enjoyable relationships are NOT exempt from struggles and NOT SATISFYING EVERY DAY because “no one does good all the time, not even one person” (Romans 3:12)! Lifelong marital happiness does not mean daily happiness! Always strive to be the BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF DAILY but forget the fantasy of the “perfect” marriage as well as “perfect” relationships!

GUIDELINES FOR NATURAL CONSEQUENCES!!!

NATURAL CONSEQUENCES are those actions that happen without a parent’s intervention. However, NATURAL CONSEQUENCES are NOT appropriate if they have the potential to hurt a child in adult life—reckless driving, brushing teeth, grades, etc. NATURAL CONSEQUENCES are also not appropriate if a child is a danger to himself/herself or another child.

HOW TO GIVE A CHILD CONSEQUENCES!!!

The BEST WAYS to help a CHILD become a RESPONSIBLE DECISION-MAKER is through giving CONSEQUENCES and TAKING AWAY PRIVILEGES. Keep most consequences or loss of privileges brief, otherwise, a child’s spirit can be broken. Always ask, “Will this discipline help a child make a better decision next time?”

ARE YOU RATIONAL, LOGICAL, AND COOPERATIVE?

Over 40 years ago, a research study was done to determine the #1 REASON for a HAPPY MARRIAGE. The study found it was NOT intelligence, attractiveness, finances, etc. The DETERMINING POSITIVE ATTRIBUTE was being COOPERATIVE meaning RATIONAL, LOGICAL, AGREEABLE, and EASY TO GET ALONG WITH!!! Possessing these POSITIVE QUALITIES will help you get along with others and enhance your relationships!
