When your child provokes you, do you:
• Feel anger rise inside of you like a fountain?
• Tend to react first and listen later?
• Ever wonder how other parents are able to respond when all you do is react?
This seminar sheds light on the communication between you and your child and shares proven steps to help change key behaviors that lead to reacting rather than responding. You’ll learn 10 key points to identify when you’re about to react, how to phrase your corrections so they are understood instantly and sample conversations to show you what to say so you’re ready to go NOW.
Are your days filled with:
• No, no, no
• Stop touching
• Come here right now
This seminar uses real-life situations and conversations’ to show parents how their child views the world at this age, which is the missing link for many parents to creating lasting behavioral change to common issues such as hitting, biting, pushing, kicking, throwing of food and toys. The simple, yet effective techniques allow parents to combine gentle words and actions to teach a young child what’s acceptable at home or in public.
• Do you feel like all you do is threaten a timeout
• Do you wonder what happened to your well-behaved child
• Are you afraid this is how parenting will be from now on
This seminar shares a proven method that leaves no room for misunderstanding or disagreement, and creates change no matter what, and does it all from a loving, yet firm place. It is possible for your child to learn to listen. This seminar will accomplish what you hoped a timeout would.
• Does your communication feel like an argument
• Are you arguing with your child, and he’s winning
• Do you have to use more intensity and control to shut things down
This seminar shares a time-tested formula for getting out of power struggles once involved in one, without sacrificing a child’s need to express themselves. Parents will learn 7 specific questions to use and hear several real-life situations that show how all of this plays out. Your child will learn that screaming their demands or bossing siblings around no longer works and why.
• Are you embarrassed when your child interrupts adults
• Has your child’s teacher indicated she interrupts at school
• Has saying, “stop interrupting” ceased to work
Being interrupted by a child is frustrating and when it goes on and on, many parents resort to punishment, but that doesn’t teach a child what they really want to know, how to respectfully interrupt their parents. The method outlined in this seminar will teach a child how to break into a conversation, respectfully, and teaches them how to wait until they are responded too.
• Do you fear that you prefer one child over another
• Do you wonder why two siblings just can’t work it out
• Do you tend to blame one child more than the other
This seminar shares a real-life example of fighting siblings in action, a parent who jumps to conclusions without getting the whole story, and the feelings both parent and child feel after a rough dialog. It also shares how parents can correct any damage that’s been done after handling a sibling issue in anger and how to support both children while still laying down the boundaries. The ideas in this seminar share how to get to the bottom of a sibling argument, and what to do once you’re there.
• Have nasty words and potty language begun at your house
• Is whining making your skin crawl
There is nothing more frustrating than whining and potty humor that won’t stop. Timeout seems like a good place to begin, and that quickly proves to be ineffective. So what can be done? This method places a laser focus on the unwanted behavior by simply using 2 words without destroying the connection a parent and child have and without the need for punishment.
• Are the words, “are you listening to me” an everyday occurrence
• Do you think your child is just looking for attention
Do you ever wonder how other parents get their children to listen because you feel like a repeat machine? There are steps that can be taken so your child hears you and carries out your wishes. You'll listen to three every day situations to learn how to apply the steps. You’ll learn how to re-phrase your requests and why your child may be using “not listening” as a way to get attention.
• Are you afraid you’ve got a wild child on your hands
• Is yelling what you resort too when teaching self-control
• Have safety issues like escaping from seatbelts become a concern
From toddler to teens, being able to control yourself is a requirement of everyday life. The best time to teach about self-control is now. When a child refuses to listen, especially with regard to safety or self-control, you don’t necessarily have time for a timeout. This seminar shares a “proactive” approach that sends the message, “I mean it and as soon as you learn that we can go back to playing, until then we will stay focused on this.”
• Do you yell the rules instead of teach the rules
• Is yelling taking away from the bond you have with your child
• Has yelling become your automatic first reaction
Yelling is not the most effective way to teach a child about the family rules. When a child is caught doing something they shouldn’t be doing, they retreat from learning and withdraw emotionally in order to bear the yelling and punishing. There is a way to instruct your child about the house rules, even when they’ve been caught red-handed. This seminar also shares a way to remind a child of what they should be doing, instead of just focusing on what they have done.
• Do you wake up each day wishing for a break from all the noise
• Have you ever wanted to scream — stop talking now
• Has constant talking caused you to ignore what your child says
Parents can forget that this is their life too and that they need quiet from time to time. How a parent goes about getting the quiet they need is where they can make some changes. Solutions in parenting can lead to the belief that everything needs to be done with a heavy hand, not so. Sometimes the answer is just a gentle, fun, loving way to get what you need. That’s the case with this seminar. You learn a sweet way to have fun in total silence, wouldn’t that be great!
