Description
Figuring out how to redirect behavior and increase your child's cooperation can feel tricky in the moment. We know that our language is important but it's easy to feel flustered and fall back on old habits and say and do things we hate, like yelling, punishing, and dishing out empty threats. Ideally speaking, it's important to think ahead on how we want to show up in the moment and what we want to say so that we can show up in the ways we want most. In general you want to: ✔Provide information on why you want to do something different ✔Give them an alternative to try in the moment ✔Make a plan for when they can get their need/want met ✔Let them know of the consequence if the behavior continues ✔Choose clear language that directly sets expectations for behavior In this week's video, I break down each point and provide examples and phrases to try in the moment. This will help you feel more prepared for how to handle difficult parenting moments. Take my free 2-min quiz: What's Your Parenting Style?http://www.themompsychologist.com/quiz
