Communication between individuals can be challenging to say the least ( especially between men and women).
For any of you out there who have children, I am sure you have experienced the excitement of a child when they at last master tasks such as tying shoelaces…
One day my oldest daughter called and upon hearing the panic in her voice, I immediately knew something was wrong. She proceeded to tell me how my two-year-old grandson was having “meltdowns” where he would become so angry that he would hit himself in the head with his fists.
Most children make their way into this world via the birth canal with exception of C-sections. For years I have asked the same question to parents and for years I continue to get the same response. Is there a manual that accompanies the birth of that child?
If we want to effectively manage our children’s behavior we must, first of all, understand why they behave the way they do. Please note, the term I use is “manage” behavior rather than “control” behavior. Attempting to control behavior is an approach that most parents apply. When this approach is used it only serves to initiate power struggles.
Parents will typically assign motives to their child’s behavior. Their definition may be accurate…or NOT. Most times when the parent is inaccurate, it is due to either misunderstanding or over personalizing that child’s behavior.
Have you ever dreamed of having a magic to make your love last longer? If there is a magic, love will be all around, no more sorrow.
