So I mentioned that I'm on the launch team this new book Motivate your Child in my last post. I'm a bit further into the book and already have gathered useful parenting tips that have had a big impact in our family. My sweet boisterous boy loves to talk his way out of doing what is asked of him and struggles with obedience. After reading about action points, or rather that seemingly magical point our children know that let's them know we mean business (in my house it was use of your full name), we decided to make a change. Kevin and I had noticed that our action point usually came at that moment of frustration. Now, most of the time (I'm still practicing), I prime Hayden that an instruction is coming by telling him I'm going to ask him to do something right now. Then I give the direction again using the word now. Most of the time he does it right away. If he doesn't, instead of getting frustrated, I simply remind him that he is being disobedient and move uncomfortably close to him. That has sent him off to his task every time. Our home is a bit more peaceful and I have lots more opportunities to praise my little guy!
I can't believe the changes in our family, and I still have 2/3 of the book to go. If you're looking for a way to help your children develop their conscience and internal motivation I would strongly recommend this book. And if you like free stuff, do it sooner rather than later (1/31)
