<\/iframe><\/p>\nThe best parenting is done when you \n\u201cCatch your child being good\u201d \nWhy is this important? \nBecause it helps you see your child\u2019s best attributes. It helps parenting, become less stressful, more fun, joyous and helpful. You can see your child in a new light and you can become more loving and less critical.<\/p>\nGiving attention to bad behavior reinforces bad behavior. \nFocusing on good and desirable behavior, however small, reinforces that behavior.<\/p>\nNot only that, \nThe way you perceive our child affects the way we discipline them. When you view them as bad, your discipline may come along with lots of anger<\/p>\nIf you view your children as good, your discipline will be softer, kinder, firm and more effective<\/p>\nIt might take a while to retrain your brain to look for the good but it is well worth the effort. <\/p>\nWhat is one simple way we can do this?<\/p>\nBecome a \u201cspin doctor.\u201d Redefine your child\u2019s most challenging traits in positive words.<\/p>\nUnderstand that the thing about your child that might make you cringe is actually a glimpse of his greatness, his untapped potential.<\/p>\nThat is why the next time your child is defiant \u2013 try to see that they are courageous.<\/p>\nWhen you look at your child\u2019s messy room instead of seeing a slob appreciate the disorder as a sign of creativity. <\/p>\nHow about your wild, high energy child. Can you envision him as an athlete?<\/p>\nDon\u2019t get frustrated with your picky eater. Think of her as a future gourmet chef.<\/p>\nHow about your shy child? View him or her as thoughtful, inner-directed and observant, a future researcher.<\/p>\nDo you think of your child as a \u201cbig mouth\u201d because she is constantly talking and letting you know her opinion? Think of her as expressive, friendly, a future orator.<\/p>\nIs your child always fighting for what is hers? Perhaps she will always work to seek justice in our world.<\/p>\nWhat about your daydreamer, Can you imagine them as a visionary or inventor?<\/p>\nRemember, words power our thoughts. So, negative words generate negative thoughts that bring us down. Positive words create positive thoughts that empower the people around us. <\/p>\nLet us love our children by seeing and appreciating their unique personality. \nLet us value our children for who they are and who they can be<\/p>\nSo remember, \u201cCatch your child being good!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The best parenting is done when you \u201cCatch your child being good\u201d Why is this important?
