Uh Oh and Empathy - Powerful Techniques

1/19/2016

1 Comment

 
When we can be consistent with our kids we can set up patterns of OUR behavior that our kids will learn to understand and respond to.  Take a look at one mom was able to do within a few weeks of starting a Love and Logic class -- combining Uh Oh with empathy really works!
================================

My child was playing with a toy she was swinging around and going to break something at my dad's house. I said that toy has wheels so you can either push or pull it. She grabs it and keeping her eye on me swings it around again so I said uh-oh and took the toy away. Of course she was upset so I followed up with a couple that's so sad and she calmed down and moved in for some hugs.


We have a lot more but thought this was a good one. She has become very receptive to uh-oh and knows what it means.

Nice lines! When we learn to behave and talk in the way our child can easily understand, we can call ourself parents. It is really important for a parent to see the things from his child's point of view. This parenting technique can work wonderfully to establish a great relations with your kids.
