Resources small medium large Parenting Tip of the Month = Making Kids Feel Appreciated and Respected There are many ways parents can show your children how much they are appreciated. Try the following ten ideas to show your kids how much you love and appreciate them. · Acknowledge their efforts more than their results. · Listen to them and repeat back to them what you heard them say. · Tell them their feelings are okay. · Find good things about them that are actually true and let them know often. · Laugh at their jokes. · Contribute to their collections. · Hug them frequently but don’t force a hug if they don’t want one. · Show up at their concerts, games, and events. · Apologize when you have done something wrong. . Thank them when they do nice things for you. An outstanding resource for parents is to try to understand why children behave the way they do. To try to do this parents should always ask themselves, "What are their goals?" If your child's goal is a)challenge the positive approach is safe adventures and the negative approach is thrill-seeking. If it is b)withdrawal the positive approach is appropriate avoidance and the negative approach is undue avoidance. If it is c)protection the positive approach is assertiveness/forgiveness and the negative approach is revenge. If it is d)power the positive approach is independence and the negative approach is rebellion. Lastly, if it is e)contact/belonging the positive approach is contributing/cooperating and the negative approach is undue attention-seeking. MY SOURCE ON THIS IS DR. MICHAEL H.
