Child Guidance"
Read the message behind the action.
Child guidance focuses on looking for the reasons why the behavior is occurring.
Observe…OBSERVE AND THEN…OBSERVE SOME MORE!
Why observe so much instead jumping right in and changing the difficult behavior?
- Change is difficult
- Change causes stress
- Change can challenge self-identity
- Stress and a challenged self-identity can lead to decreased self-esteem
- Low self-esteem makes if difficult to lean new, more appropriate behaviors
Increase your awareness of the behavior before you try to change it.
Manage temperament and enhance your child’s talents.
Set your child up for success by managing the environment first before the behavior.
Always focus on:
- Celebrating talents
- Meeting needs
- Teaching and practicing new skills
- Managing difficult situations
