Great ideas to try and lots of opportunities for discussion about specific situations.
Instead of nagging during the morning, getting ready for school. I just said “Here is 15 minutes to get ready and then you go to school as is.” It worked!
I like the fact that I don’t have to respond right away to an incident – I can say “I will respond to this later.”
I learned to allow my child to think for himself and find a solution to his own problem.
The class discussion was extremely valuable as was the instructor’s knowledge.
Excellent instruction on how to positively and effectively re-tool my interactions with my children
Show empathy and stay calm. I have seen that if I stay calm, my children are more apt to stay calm.
