  1. Shifting the Burden—An Example Note: The variable directly above reads, “Amount of conflict resolution skills that children learn”

  2. The Costs of Shifting • The mechanisms to control from within atrophy. • The system lowers its ability to adaptively restructure. • Example: The child may lose its natural sense of independence. • The intervener may never be able (or want to) relinquish authority. If he or she does, the system may experience readjustment difficulties. • Example: The child may only be assertive in the presence of its parents. • There are short-term benefits to shift, but long-term costs.

  3. Ways to Avert • Ask yourself, do I need the intervener? Can I do it myself? • Provide the internal mechanisms to adapt. • Identify addictive behaviors. • Strengthen the long-term solutions. • See choices in a fresh way and shun habitual responses.
