Positive Parenting Techniques with Shareen Ratnani was a very informative and useful session for all attendees.
Positive parenting gems shared:
- Offer choices – It gives children more control over their decisions about their own behaviors
- Show & Tell – Our children become who we are, so be who you want them to be.
- Connect to correct – When children feel strongly connected to you ( They feel loved, valued and understood) They are simply more open to your influence.
- Teach emotion – It’s ok to feel. Learn the feeling words vocabulary
- Use i-message – An i-message tells a child how you feel about their behavior in a respectful manner.
- Use positive language -Use approximately 5 words with the most important word or words at the end.
- Enforceable statements – when we use enforceable statements instead we tell the children what we will allow rather than trying to tell them what to do.
- Consequences – natural and logical consequences of actions.
- Positive reinforcement.
- Consistency – be kind and firm. This provides the limits and boundaries for children that help them to integrate information into their brain and gain an understanding of how the world works.
