This also strengthens the relationship and builds trust! 💯

The only person we can really control is ourselves. We can influence the situation, we can hold boundaries but we can't really control our children's behaviour.

Ultimately parents are trying to do their best to help their children grow and develop into "good" people. Unfortunately we have been brought up in a world where punishment has always been the main way to control behaviour. The problem is that if we really want our kids to develop a moral conscience and take responsibility for their actions, punishment simply doesn't work. We need to discipline our kids in the true sense of the word; teach direct and guide them. We need to work with them and not be an authority to cause fear, but someone that will help them develop to the same moral standard we have.

Children rise to the level of your expectations! Are your expectations positive or negative..

Traditional psychology is typically viewed as studying and treating “disease, weakness, and damage” – or what went wrong – positive psychology focuses on your strength and builds on what is right in your life.

When you focus on what you do well, over time there will be a natural shift through the development of new neural pathways that lead to a more positive perspective, more confidence, and positive self-talk that will minimize the effects of past mistakes, trauma, and/or weaknesses.
