Hi friend, The key to raising children who are self driven is... Positive consequences! Why??? Children who are taught to obey because of punishment or fear are more focused on avoiding pain than on doing what is right! Positive consequences help children learn to be CHOOSERS. Kids practice taking responsibility for their lives and CHOOSE to do what is right because it makes them happy. If you want to learn more about how to use positive consequences in your home , watch my webinar today! It will teach you how this ✨magical✨ tool will help make your parenting so much more enjoyable and effective! Watch It Now Let's teach our children to love their lives because of the choices they make! ​ ​ Unsubscribe | Update your profile | 110 N Interstate 35 Suite 315-835, Round Rock, TX 78681 ​

Hi friend, If you've been here for a while, you know that I love using positive consequences. But what are they??? Here's an example of a negative consequence: "If you don't brush your teeth quickly, we don't get to read books tonight." Negative consequences threaten to take away something, and try to motivate the child through fear. Let's try a positive consequence instead: "As soon as you've brushed your teeth, we'll read books!" Positive consequences add to a child's life and motivate through encouragement and hope. They learn to associate good behavior with being happy! The research shows that most effective way to reduce NEGATIVE behavior in children is to give POSITIVE reinforcement to good behavior. Enter, positive consequences! Learn more about the power of positive consequences and how to use them in my webinar, the Power of Positive Consequences . Watch Today! Watch as many times as you'd like...

Hello ! Let's be honest. Your child WILL: drive you crazy make messes move super slow pester each other be disrespectful or even worse, steal all the Nutella (gasp!) 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. But we forget what an amazing resource it is! We can use time to: calm down think about what to do heal build connection wait for them to grow out of it! This can look like: 1) Simply walking away from a situation in order to give yourself time to think clearly. 2) Saying to your child "I need some time to think about this. 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 fill hi...

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! To learn more about the lasting effects of yelling, view my IG highlight on "yelling" HERE: VIDEO: "The Negative Effects of Yelling" ​ 2) Stopping behavior is not teachi...

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. Over time, those unresolved, protected emotions create within us an unknown core belief about ourselves. And there's our why. Discovery: Why Do YOU Get Angry? Now, I have some homework for you.
