These are the very simple strategies that work wonders in helping you stay safe and model adult behavior. Strategy #1: Use Time Time is free. It's readily available to all of us.

I'll set the timer for 30 minutes and then we'll come back to it." 3) Realizing that the reason your child is having such a difficult time listening to you is because he feels disconnected. So you set aside some time each week to f...

Hello ! Why doesn't yelling work? Well, let's be clear here. It does work. In the short term. ​ If you scream at your child to "KNOCK IT OFF!" they will knock it off! Children are motivated by fear. We all are! But what we don't realize is that taking away a child's will has long-term negative effects. ​ Three Long Term Effects of Yelling 1) It creates an environment that is coercive. Your home becomes a home that children want to: escape from avoid and get even with As children age, they try to break free from the coercive environment that they are in. They reach out to peers for dependence because they can't rely on their parents for encouragement and love. This is not a good formula for success in adolescence!

Hello ! So, Why Do You Yell? Here's what we know about emotion: anger is always secondary. ALWAYS. Anger is always hiding something else! Those hidden feelings are vulnerable. They look like shame, discouragement, inadequacy, sadness, embarrassment, anxiety, and the list goes on and on. Vulnerable feelings need protection so we guard them.

I am honored to be a part of your home and to teach you some life-changing tools that will add peace to your family and make parenting a whole lot easier for you. I promise! I Struggled with Being in Control A little bit about me: When our family was just starting out, I really struggled with being in control of myself.
