Notes from speaker...
“We don’t like to watch our children make mistakes. And we don’t like having to take the time and energy to enforce the consequences. So instead, we scream, or we get anxious, or we stress out. We may threaten, negotiate, plead. We hope it works, meaning we hope our screaming or our anxiety can force them to behave the way we need them to. When it doesn’t, we scream or even get more anxious—and then our screaming becomes the consequence itself. This isn’t working and everyone knows it. It also negatively affects our relationship with our children. In addition, no one is learning or growing through this process, but what else can you do?”
“The key to good parenting depends on you, because you are the one you can ultimately control,” says parenting expert and family therapist, Hal Runkel.
