10 things to improve the


parent and child relationship
Positive Parenting

Please remember:

Our goal is to provide parents strategies which will help


them develop and maintain a healthy relationship with their
child

We know that every child is unique. Every parent is


unique. Some things will work and some won’t.

You are the parent. Ultimately, you will decide what is best
for your child.

Positive Parenting
Tip #1: Begin with you

• Do you model the behaviors you


want your child to adopt?

• Love and Logic: "Anger and


frustration feed misbehavior”

• Sometimes you will need to step


away from the situation before
addressing it – that is okay

Tip #2: Health matters


Is your child getting enough sleep?
What is your child eating?
Is your child having yearly check-ups?

Tip #3: Making time


• How often do you spend one on
one time with your child?

• Do you sit down and share a meal


with your child (no electronics) at
least once a week?

• If this is the single most effective


strategy, how can you make it
occur?

Tip #4: Rules and routines


• 1114 middle school students attend
everyday. Without routines, we are
doomed.

• Simplify rules to help make


expectations clear

• Can your child describe the


routines and rules that you have
established?

Positive Parenting
Tip #5: Consistency

• Being firm creates a strong foundation in your


relationship with your child.
• Boundaries are meant to expand. As your child
grows, the boundaries will too.
• If you set limits with your child in a consistent,
positive way, eventually your child will internalize
your expectations.
• These guidelines will help him to get along
successfully in life.

Tip #6: What is the source of the behavior?

• Avoid asking “why?” Instead ask “What did you


think would happen”” or “What did you want to
happen when you acted that way?”

• If you, and more importantly your child,


understands the meaning behind the behavior
there is a much greater chance to change future
action

Positive Parenting
Tip #7: Get to “Yes”

• Kids ask us for things and permission all the


time. It is draining to always be the voice of “No”

• Set conditions which you can live with and get


them to hear “Yes”

Positive Parenting
Tip #8: Focus on the positive

• PBS works at school and


at home

• Recognizing positive
behaviors can be done
without bribing your
child

Positive Parenting
Tip #9: Consequences for them

• 1. Use Consequences That Have Meaning


• 2. Make Consequences Black and White
• 3. Have Problem-Solving Conversations
• 4. Don’t Get into an Argument over
Consequences
• 5. How Will I Know If a Consequence Is Working?
• 6. Some Things Should Never Be Used as
Consequences

11
Positive Parenting
Tip #10: Reflecting on their actions

• What were you wanting to have happen when you


did this?
• Was there some part of you that said ‘Don’t do
this’?
• What got in the way of you listening to that part
of you?
• What else could you have done?
