The Skills Every Child Needs for Good Behavior
We all experience anger (road rage, anyone?), but there’s a difference between punching a hole in a wall and counting to ten to calm down. As adults, we know the difference. Kids, on the other hand, need a little extra help.
To start coaching your child through the process of solving problems, we recommend having a conversation during a calm time (yes, these times do exist!). Check out James Lehman's article, The 3 Skills Every Child Needs for Good Behavior, for tips on how to initiate this conversation and coach your child to solve problems appropriately.
Remember, this isn’t a path you have to walk alone. The Empowering Parents team is here to help support and guide you.
Warmly,
