Keep your instructions short and sweet – no lectures on responsibility, no reminders about the mess from Tuesday, no ranting about no one wanting to marry him because his room is a pigsty.
#3 NO SUDDEN MOVES. Your kitchen timer can be your best
parenting friend. Instead of marching in and announcing bedtime, give notice. Keep the routines moving along by giving a warning and setting the timer between activities: “OK, guys, it’s time to get ready for bed. You have five minutes. When the timer goes off you need to shut off the computer.” #4 EMPATHIZE WITH EMOTIONS, NOT BEHAVIORS. Your child
needs to feel that you will listen to her about her emotions. This is how children learn empathy and this starts as young as 14 months. Empathize with your child’s emotions — “I know you wanted to go swimming and you feel mad that it didn’t work out.” At the same time, hold your child responsible for his behavior — “I know you feel mad, but you cannot hit your brother.” This is accountability. Don’t confuse it with empathy. If you tolerate inappropriate behavior, your child learns that his strong emotions can override his bad behavior — which is not a good a lesson to teach.
