Positive Parenting Solution of the Week: Complaining kids? Just say “I Hear Ya!”
Posted on 25. Feb, 2012 by Young Parents Guide.
PositiveParentingSolutions.com ► Book ► http Facebook ► facebook.com Twitter ► twitter.com Welcome to the Positive Parenting Solution of the Week in which I share a nugget of parenting wisdom to make your week go a bit more smoothly. This week’s solution: Try using a new phrase … “I Hear Ya!” “I HEAR YA” can be a great way to respond when kids complain about doing their homework, their family jobs, taking a bath — what ever. This week, instead do jumping into a big lecture about how everyone has to contribute, or your job is to go to school and do homework, blah, blah, blah — Try “I hear ya – I always dread unloading the dishwasher too!” Or, “I hear ya – I used to dread practicing spelling words too!” Sometimes kids just want to know that you “get it.” Empathizing vs. lecturing can go a long way in diffusing power struggles and it reinforces that you’re on the same team. They’re still not going to enjoy unloading the dishwasher or doing homework — but it doesn’t have to turn into a power struggle with you. Let me know in the comments section under this video about you’ll use “I hear ya”! For more strategies to reduce power struggles and to be on the same team, go to: PositiveParentingSolutions.com This has been a Positive Parenting Solution of the Week. I hope this little bit of information becomes a solution for you. Thanks for watching, and as always, I wish you parenting peace. — Amy McCready Do you need help with a parenting problem?

Positive Parenting Solution of the Week: Child Labels, Sibling Rivalry and Competition
Posted on 15. Feb, 2012 by Young Parents Guide.
PositiveParentingSolutions.com ► Book ► http Facebook ► facebook.com Twitter ► twitter.com Welcome to the Positive Parenting Solution of the Week! This week’s tip will help you minimize sibling rivalry and competition. The unfortunate truth about sibling relationships is that there’s a natural sense of rivalry that sets in. There’s nothing you can do to eliminate it completely — but there are things you can do to minimize it. It’s important to be aware of what parents unknowingly do to intensify rivalry. These seem like innocent gestures but they can have harmful and lasting consequences. One of the biggies is to make sure we’re not comparing our kids through labels, spoken or implied. Because, If you’re the smart one, the pretty one, the athletic one — then I must be the opposite. If mom calls me her “wild one” — then that let’s you feel pretty “superior” and that’s a recipe that’s ripe for resentment, very. Some labels are more subtle. If you hand your son a stack of plates to carry into the dining room and you say, “Now hold these very tightly and don’t trip over the rug.” He probably perceives himself as clumsy. If you remind your daughter 15 times every morning to not forget her homework, lunch or PE clothes — you can bet she’s wearing the disorganized or forgetful label. Another subtle but discouraging label is the Go-To Kid: This is the child you can count on to complete a task competently and without much complaining—so whenever you really need something …
