Lauching a Research Project

School systems are in desperate need for an updated parent education system.  Many still use the outdated S.T.E.P. program and teachers and hoping something will be introduced to help parents create more boundaries and limits at home.  If parents are engaged and using effective discipline at home, then children will become easier to teach in the classroom where boundaries and limits are normally in place.

With this in mind, I am launching a research project through my local university to create the evidence that many schools systems require to bring in a parent education program to the parents.

One Imporant Thing to do for Your Child Today

Ever find yourself thinking about a great intention, such as making a date with someone special in your life, only to realize later that you didn’t do it?  We have to accept the fact that most of us are living incredibly busy lives with so much to accomplish in any given day, week, month, or year.  We definitely know that we don’t want to end up on our death bed thinking about all the things we didn’t get done.  This means that we can’t just rely on our ability to remember to do something, we have to learn and use a process to help us get it done.

Seek First to Understand Your Child... Don't React

Too many parents are wired to react to their child's challenging behavior to simply stop it immediately.  Rarely are they able to stop their reaction and examine what might be causing the behavior.  Much of this reaction is fueled by the emotion the parent may be feeling at the moment, or it's the parent's internal belief system about the behavior.  What if we contained our emotions or our belief systems long enough to find out why our children do what they do?  We would become more effective as parents.
