Parenting with Purpose
Being parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts brings
with it skills that we all need to remember from time to
time.
Wondering if there is anything else you can do? Dr. Phil
outlines five steps that can help bring you and your child
closer together:
1. Plug In
Make a conscious decision to plug into your kid's world.
You can't make assumptions about the critical choices
that children have to make today because the world they
are living in is different from the one you grew up in.
2. Spread the Word
When you talk to your children you've got to spread out
your logic so that they can see why you're saying what
you're saying. Research shows us that the amount of
trouble kids get into is inversely proportional to the
number of words spoken in the home. What that means
is, the less you talk at home, the more trouble they get in
outside the home.
3. Talk About Things That Don't Matter
How do you ever expect to talk to them about things that
do matter if you haven't practiced by talking about things
that don't?
4. Remember, You're the Parent
Children have lots of friends who tell them what they want
to hear. They don't need you to be another friend. They
need you to be an authority figure who lets them know where
the boundaries of acceptable behavior are. Trying to be his
or her friend will only undermine your authority as a parent
and come back to bite you.
5. Allow Them A Sense of Mastery
You have to put your kids in a world where they feel a sense
of mastery over their own environment. It's important that they
don't feel they're subject to arbitrary guidance or haphazard
decisions.
