Being a parent certainly comes with a lot of expected and unexpected challenges, but being familiar with positive techniques to help you navigate these challenges can create a much less stressful process. It is important to always be direct and concise when dealing with your children. Lectures tend to be ineffective both short-term and long-term, as kids typically tune them out after becoming bored. Being straightforward and keeping dialogue short is much more likely to result in communicating successfully.

Key Takeaways:

• Always take time to yourself in order to breathe. This helps prevent you from reacting to adverse behavior in an ineffective manner by allowing you to think over your next move.
• With children, it is imperative to be direct and concise. They tend to zone out with lectures, so it is best to be as straightforward as possible.
• Although it can be difficult, try not to judge by asking your child for an explanation as to why they acted the way that they did. Create dialogue instead of a hostile confrontation.
