5 Tips for Battle Free Parenting

Listen
Parents think that they are listening to children when really they are trying to educate, inform, dismiss, distract, blame, interrogate, correct, moralise or ignore. Learning to really listen will help you to understand your child and what makes them behave the way they do. To be blunt – it begins with shutting up.

Be Kind
Getting aggressive hurts you as much as it hurts your children. Staying calm and using kind words and actions will impact upon your child and yourself more than any other strategy you can apply.

Pick Your Battles
Do you spend all day being critical and nagging about anything and everything? If so you don’t leave any room for your child to feel great about themselves or their accomplishments. Where is your focus – on the negative or the positive?

No Blame
As soon as you play the blame game your children will quickly fire up. They also discover how to lie and stop communicating with you about the important issues. You will find yourself dealing with more fights and arguments than you can handle. Stick with simple facts to describe what you see and eliminate blame.

Be Playful
When you are playful, you teach your children to have a light heart and not be so serious. It gives you the opportunity to repair tensions by bringing FUN back.
