The temptation in crucial moments is to resort to some form of power to coerce others to our way of thinking or into compliance. Perhaps nowhere is that more tempting than with young children. Today’s Q&A highlights a few ways to communicate with and influence young people without resorting to threats or coercion.

| | | | Whether someone has children or not, I think almost all of us can relate to the near universal frustration that comes when someone else isn’t behaving the way we want them to behave. My kids in a restaurant, my teammates in a project meeting, my neighbors and their ridiculously loud music or free-ranging and poop-dropping dog. We have expectations of others, those expectations aren’t realized, and we get frustrated. It’s tempting in those moments to move to power as a solution. What leverage do I hold? What threat can I make? Or worse, what physical consequences can I mete out? |

| | | | | | Strong convictions do not necessarily signal a powerful sense of self: very often quite the opposite. Intensely held beliefs may be no more than a person’s unconscious effort to build a sense of self to fill what, underneath, is experienced as a vacuum. | | | | | |
