When your child is exposed to frightening events...
|
|
|
When something scary or upsetting has happened and your child either witnessed it or knows about it, it's important to intervene. Don't wait for the child to come to you and don't assume that if she doesn't come, that she's okay. Instead, assume th ....

Could you be rewarding the wrong behaviors?
|
|
|
A toddler who tantrums is behaving perfectly normally for his age. His lack of sophisticated emotional and verbal regulation skills is to be expected. However, a school-age child doing the same thing, is a different story. Be careful not to reward ....

The magic of positive words....
|
|
|

Your job isn't to ensure that your child becomes an adult who can (fill in the blank: wake himself up every morning/brush his teeth twice a day/make a good living/have a good marriage/control his temper/practice his religion, etc, etc..). After all ....

Easy-Does-It Wake-Up Routine
|

Don't wake up your older child or teen. Just say "good morning," and then move on. Why ruin your morning and your child's with repeated calls to wake-up, followed by a series of increasingly agitated threats and remarks. Instead, don't get involved ....

Home, contrary to public opinion, is not where you can be yourself - unless, of course, your "self" is utterly delightful. If it isn't, then home is a place where you can pretend to be what you wish you really were - patient, loving, sensitive, und ....

Ever feel like you're about to lose it?

When you feel like you're going to snap, pay attention to that feeling. It is your inner call for help. Something inside is agitated, overwhelmed, at its very limit. Please go take care of it, because it needs you. Tune in and listen to what it has ....

Are you accidentally teaching your child to argue?
