Impulsive General Feddback

You have a Firm Parenting Style

From your answers,&nbsp;it appears you may be struggling or frustrated with your children&rsquo;s behaviour, adopting an Authoritarian and Punitive parenting style.

You may find yourself thinking &ldquo; I am the boss of this house. You need to listen to me, because I said so!&rdquo;

You tend to use the influence of your power and believe in a no nonsense&nbsp;approach, using threats and punishments, and may at times adopt the &ldquo;naughty step&rdquo; technique. Your children may either show rebellion and resentment, or be submissive.

What you do well:

You&nbsp;have a firm parenting style and understand the&nbsp;importance of setting limits and expectations.

Positive Discipline is important to you because you want to bring up your child to have good habits and behaviours.

You work hard to protect your child and keep them safe and secure.

You have a Hands Off Parent Style

From your answers, it appears you adopt a Passive and Absentee approach to parenting. This is not as harsh as it sounds, but is less than ideal. You probably feel overwhelmed, lead a very busy life, and end up prioritising your own needs, as you believe children learn by doing it themselves.

You may inadvertently end up&nbsp;neglecting your child&rsquo;s physical and emotional needs and appear disengaged as a parent.

&nbsp;You may find yourself thinking &ldquo;Do what you want, as long as you leave me in peace to do my work.&rdquo;&nbsp;

This can be damaging to a child&rsquo;s emotional development and self-esteem, so&nbsp;you need to consider becoming more involved in your child&#039;s life, above and beyond just fulfilling the basic duties expected of you.

What you do well:

You love your child and believe competence breeds confidence.

You place a high value on independence and self-reliance.

You strongly beleive in the importance of a child thinking and acting for themselves.

Key Area 1

Impulsive

1. Don&rsquo;t focus on the negative&nbsp;

When your child doesn&rsquo;t listen to you it&rsquo;s easy to nag, repeat, remind and criticise&nbsp;which puts our attention in the wrong place. This is called the negativity bias and you need to notice and comment when the children are doing the right thing. This is a much more effective way of getting cooperation than focusing on negative behaviour.

Create a more nurturing and warm atmosphere by verbally expressing your love for your child through descriptive praise and affection.

2. Deliver relevant and meaningful consequences&nbsp;

Positive discipline, delivered calmly, is designed to help your children learn how to behave without lowering their self-esteem. Using the naughty step is counterproductive and doesn&rsquo;t enable your child to learn from his mistakes. It&rsquo;s a form of punishment that&rsquo;s often delivered in anger, judgement and criticism and makes a child feel bad. No learning takes place and often leads to more misbehaviour.

Depending on what rule is broken, make sure the consequence is relevant and meaningful to the misbehaviour so that every mistake is a teaching opportunity. Otherwise you will find your child may become more rebellious and resentful.

3. Be an Emotion Coach for your child

How your child feels, influences how they behave. All behaviour has a cause and an emotion is often at the root of it.&nbsp;

You can help your children understand and manage their emotions, by accepting all their feelings are valid. Your child then becomes more emotionally intelligent and more emotionally regulated.

Name the feelings to tame them e.g.&nbsp;

&ldquo;You look really sad/ frustrated/ angry just now&rdquo; or &ldquo;It sounds like you are really upset about that&rdquo;.

So, listen and validate your child&rsquo;s feelings, even though you may not agree. This helps keep the lines of communication open.

Key Area 2

Enabler

1.&nbsp;Support your children to be more independent and self-reliant

Self-reliant children are able to do things for themselves, including their own thinking, problem-solving and managing their emotions. If you do too much for your children, they develop learned helplessness and a sense of entitlement, lose confidence and become risk-averse.

Don&rsquo;t automatically answer your child&rsquo;s questions. Instead, encourage them to work it out or say &ldquo;Take a guess.&rdquo;&nbsp;

If your child says &ldquo;Do I have to clear up my toys now?&rdquo; you can reply &ldquo;What&rsquo;s the rule about that&rdquo; or &ldquo;What do you think.&rdquo; But don&rsquo;t be tempted to tidy up the toys for them, because it&rsquo;s quicker and easier.

So, think about what tasks around the house you can give to your child, to help them be more independent in action and thought and more self-reliant. Remember competence breeds confidence.&nbsp;

2. Values are caught not taught

Work out what&rsquo;s important to you, the strongly held beliefs that guide you. These are your values. These give you a clear vision of how you want your family to be, so you can create family rules. Children learn our values or behaviours when we practice them, not from being told. Children see,&nbsp;children do.

Sit down with your family and explore what makes &ldquo;Our Family way of life&rdquo;. Create a family mission statement about the things that are important to you and from that create rules.

E.g. &nbsp;If family togetherness is important then a rule may be &ldquo;Leave electronics in the drop zone at meal time.&rdquo;&nbsp;

So, actively work out what your values are so you can create clear rules.

3. Be firm with your boundaries and consequences&nbsp;

Agree rules between parents, and given consistency is important, there may need to be some compromise. Demonstrate that actions have consequences without punishment, disapproval or threats, as this helps children learn to take responsibility for their behaviour.

Ask the children &ndash; what rule do we need here? Frame the rules positively e.g. &ldquo;Scooters outside&rdquo;, is more effective than &ldquo;no scooters inside&rdquo; as our brains can&rsquo;t visualise negatives. Be specific, so not &ldquo;be polite&rdquo;, but &ldquo;please ask before you leave the table&rdquo;. When children follow the rule acknowledge that, and when they don&rsquo;t, know your consequence, e.g a privilege that hasn&rsquo;t been earned.

So, actively provide more positive discipline and be firmer and more consistent in setting your boundaries.

1. Provide warmth and love

Focus on what they&rsquo;re getting right, and start to notice and mention small steps in the right direction. Identify the quality shown by the behaviour. Acknowledge effort, improvement and strategies, not results. According to the Gottman Institute, we need to hear 5 positives for each negative comment in order to build a good relationship between parent and child. Positive comments also help children feel good and be motivated and foster a healthy self-esteem.&nbsp;

So, keep a notebook for your child dedicated to recording what you notice in terms of the effort, attitude, qualities and write 5 Descriptive Praises (DPs) for your children each day, and read it back to them. Watch their self-esteem grow.

2. Express interest and get involved in your child&rsquo;s life.

Demonstrate curiosity about your child&rsquo;s passions. Ask them to teach you how to play a game, whether electronic or otherwise. Go to school events and matches. Show an interest in what they&rsquo;re learning at school.

Ask open-ended questions to find out about their&nbsp;interests, beliefs and feelings. Try conversation starters like table topics.

So, you may need to schedule some regular time to just hang out with your child one on one. If it&rsquo;s not in the diary it&rsquo;s unlikely to happen.

3. Connect and communicate by listening more.

Help your child feel more connected to you, by supporting them to understand and manage their emotions.

When children are angry, disappointed or jealous it is tempting to dismiss, ignore, advise or try to change how they feel in order to change their behaviour, or because we feel validating their feelings may be indulging them. We need to accept their feelings first, so we can help them process those feelings.

So, make time to listen and acknowledge what your children are saying and feeling?

1. Keep assessing your child&rsquo;s temperament and needs

You&rsquo;re doing a great job, and just keep being mindful to knowing your child&rsquo;s temperament.

Temperament is that range of in-built traits that define how your children interact with the world. Understanding and accepting your child&rsquo;s make up, allows you to provide more effectively for his needs. We can&rsquo;t change their temperament, but we can help them develop better responses.

So, keep checking that you understand their temperament and their needs at each age and stage of development.

2. Expand your warmth and love with the Golden Book

Focus on what they are getting right, and start to notice and mention small steps in the right direction. Identify the quality shown by the behaviour. Acknowledge effort, improvement and strategies, not results. According to the Gottman Institute, we need to hear 5 positives for each negative comment in order to build a good relationship between parent and child. Positive comments also help children feel good and be motivated and foster a healthy self-esteem.&nbsp;

So, keep a notebook for your child dedicated to recording what you notice in terms of the effort, attitude, qualities and write 5 &nbsp;Descriptive Praises (DPs) for your children each day. Make it a daily ritual to read it through with your child at bedtime, and if you have a teen, still keep the notebook and leave it lying in a common area for them to look at.

3. Practice radical self-care as you are the most important resource for your family.

Your physical, intellectual, social and emotional wellbeing forms the foundation for a happy family. Taking care of yourself, and your couple relationship, is not being selfish or self-indulgent. It is your responsibility to ensure you are in a calm space to allow you to parent in a calm, connected way.&nbsp;

So, compare yourself to a bank account and make emotional deposits in order to keep yourself from becoming emotionally spent. Micro moments can have macro impact.
