Assisting Your Child's Experience With Divorce Parents don't want the breakup of their marriage to harm their child. Before divorce, many parents seek advice from a family therapist about minimizing their child's suffering. During and after the divorce, most parents' love and concern for their child remains unchanged. Yet the stress of divorce can be so intense that parents eventually find it hard to keep concentrating on their child's needs. Can Parent's Be Both The Boss & The Buddy To Their Children? Being able to balance being the 'boss' as well as your child's 'buddy' is absolutely necessary for a healthy parent child relationship. Some experts teach that we should always be the boss and never play the role of buddy. Others suggest that your son or daughter should be your best friend. Both extremes are unhealthy. Your child should never be in doubt as to who is the boss. How Giving Your Child Positive Rewards Is The Best Parenting System The most important technique in teaching desirable behavior is known as the "positive reward system". You have probably seen trained animal acts such as dolphins, elephants, and bears at amusement parks like Sea World or the circus. But you may not be aware of how the animals are taught to do their tricks. How To Get Your Child To Do Chores Parents feel frustrated when they have to tell their child over and over to help around the house. They know that what they're asking (take out the trash, set the table, rake the leaves, etc.) is minimal compared to the full adult responsibility of running a household. They also know how much time they spend meeting their child's needs, driving her to special activities, shopping for her clothes, and preparing for her friends' visits. How To Keep Your Kids Out Of Trouble Kids love attention, and they'll get it anyway they can. If they can't get your attention by doing good things, they'll get it by doing things they know are wrong. If the only time you acknowledge that your kids are around is when they do something wrong, they'll continue to do wrong things. To a child, negative attention is better than no attention. This is very important, so repeat that again: Negative attention is better than no attention. |
