Our question today is from Kelly K of San Jose, CA and she asks… “What’s the best way to handle it when my parenting style is completely different then their father’s style? He’s a command, demand type while I’d rather use positive parenting.” DO’S & DONT’S CHECKLIST: 1. DON’T correct or criticize his parenting style. I know it’s tempting — but it’s only going to invite a power struggle between the two of you.. You want to avoid anything that will feel like judgment — because it will just make him get defensive and shut down. 2. DON’T disagree about discipline strategies in front of the kids. They’ll quickly learn they can to play one against the other for their advantage. 1. DO have a calm discussion about why you disagree on parenting and discipline styles. Explore how both of you were raised and the positives and negatives that resulted from that parenting style. Listen with an …

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?
