💡 🔍 Parenting with Science:
TWO Research-Backed Strategies
Ever wish parenting came with a manual? 📖 While it doesn’t, psychology gives us *evidence-based tools* to raise emotionally resilient kids. Here are two powerful approaches:
📚 The Whole Brain Child by Dr Daniel Siegel and Dr Tina Bryson 📚
⭐️Name it to Tame it
If children/ teenagers can identify what is the feeling / emotion that is bothering them, they can better make space for that feeling, whether it’s a BIG feeling / emotion, like anger 😡, fear 😰 or grief 😞, or a SMALL feeling / emotion, like annoyance or boredom.
In therapy, the therapist will work with the child / teen in identifying emotions through fun and engaging activities. As time goes along, the child / teen can practise more at home, school and other settings, where this would become second-nature!
📚 Collaborative and Proactive Solutions approach from Dr Ross Greene 📚
⭐️Understand the issue / difficulty your child is having first (EMPATHY) and Collaborate with them (COLLABORATION) to find solutions
Parents are usually very good at instructing or nagging children on what to do, what not to do, but sometimes what is lacking is understanding the issue from the CHILD’s perspective.
1. What does my child / teen think is the issue?
2. How does this difficulty to submit homework on time affect my child’s own feelings? Do they care or do they feel bad about it?
3. Does my child / teen have any ideas to solve the issue at hand?
Using the CPS approach is new to most Asian parents, but it often brings new insights and perspectives to parents and children alike and they find that “oh, my child/ teen is more mature or more resourceful than I thought!”
