The Parents Responsibility (TPR).
Time to harp on about this again - PLEASE READ!
Oh and keep an open mind, y’all.
Telling parents how to parent…
What could go wrong?!
Let’s look at a common scenario - with kids of all ages - and attempt to view it in a slightly different light.
“It’s too hard”
~ every kid, ever.
The average response these days is along the lines of: “that’s ok, if it’s too hard, you don’t have to do it”.
You think you are caring. You believe you are helping the situation.
You may even think it’s not even a big deal.
However.
What if we change the thought process behind this and use it as an oppotunity to grow.
If you choose to accept the statement and say “ok you don’t have to do it” - you essentially reinforce, in the childs mind, that you don’t believe they are capable of overcoming that particular problem, situation or fear.
‘My parents don’t believe I can do it, so why should I?’
But;
If you push back and say “yes, it IS hard, but you CAN do it” - you enable your child to overcome that fear, whilst reinforcing your belief in them.
This not only strengthens your bond with your little one, but also builds their resilience, and grows their own confidence in their ability to overcome obstacles.
‘If my parents think I can do it.. maybe I can!’
Win/win.
Sounds simple, and i’m sure the first time you say it everything just magically gets better and easier, right?
We all know kids listen to everything you say - and saying something once fixes everything, instantly…
Pretty sure that’s how parenting works 😂
Yeah, nah.
It’s a long term approach and can be applied to sooo many scenarios in life.
Back your kids up, reinforce their belief in themselves, and show them you believe in them no matter what.
Worth a shot.
(Parents, feel free to give me some feedback on this one, please!).
