Positive Parenting strategies: This is what we use instead of blame, shame, humiliation, fear and punishment to teach our children because those things just feel so bad and will make us hate parenting.
Our teaching is received when we give it with humility (ex. I'm working on this too, buddy.), and when they see us go first. (ex. I don't like the tone I used with you. Can I try saying that again?)
When we choose to:
Make the time in our homes (first we're going to practice_____ and then we're going to the park!) and commit to implement teaching we don't have to parent from reactivity or permissiveness.
We can choose:
Natural consequences with empathy
*Calming breaks* (We go first)
Logical Consequences:
Make-ups
Re-dos
Re-dos with toys
Charts with practice
Preventative strategies:
*Self compassion*
Getting ready charts
firm, kind, agreements
Power preventative strategies
Noticing and filling our own needs buckets
and our kids' needs buckets ahead of time
