Tip #11 of 12 Parenting Tips for Christmas
Today’s reminder Tip #11 is pure magic. This research-based concept is what I call “Parent Pie™.”
“Parent-Pie™” is the unconscious attention a child gets, positive or negative, that comes as a result of where a parent focuses their words, time and attention.
Switching where a parent places their focus creates empowerment, raises self-esteem, sends the child the message about the behavior you want to see, not the behavior you don’t want to see. Best of all it fills him/her up with your love while announcing your boundaries, all at the same time. Not bad!
