Facebook Parenting: For the troubled teen.

Published by admin on May 13, 2012

Warning: Since this video seems to have gone crazy, I figure I’ll post this notice. I’m going to read a letter my 15 year old daughter wrote. There ARE some curse words in it. None of them are incredibly bad, but they are definitely things a little kid shouldn’t hear… not to mention things MY KID shouldn’t say!
If you want to see the original Facebook thread, it’s located at:

http://www.facebook.com/tommyjordaniii/posts/299559803434210

———————————————————————————————-

My daughter thought it would be funny/rebellious/cool to post on her Facebook wall just how upset she was and how unfair her life here is; how we work her too hard with chores, never pay her for chores, and just in general make her life difficult.

She chose to share this with the entire world on Facebook and block her parent’s from seeing it. Well, umm… she failed. As of the end of this video, she won’t have to worry anymore about posting inappropriate things on Facebook…

Maybe a few kids can take something away from this… If you’re so disrespectful to your parents and yourself as to post this kind of thing on Facebook, you’re deserving of some tough love. Today, my daughter is getting a dose of tough love.

Parenting Support- Getting Your Child to Co-operate

Published by admin on February 6, 2012

http://www.toddlerstoteens.tv http://ww.powerfulparenting.com.au
Parents and teachers! Are you dealing with unacceptable behaviour? Trouble getting a child to cooperate? Trying to stop an unacceptable action, or behaviour?
We’ve all been there! So you’re not alone! As parents and teachers we all want children to follow our instructions, cooperate, and give us respect.
At times, we also need to target a specific behaviour because it is either unacceptable or inappropriate. Today’s video looks at how to focus on eliminating a specific behaviour, and get children to cooperate with what you are asking.
This communication technique is simple, yet effective and has worked with countless children of all ages. Direct, powerful, yet every simile, we want you to try this technique and benefit from knowing what to say at that moment when you are faced with unacceptable behaviour.

I’m Amy McCready, and I am here to provide simple solutions to your most frustrating discipline dilemmas.    
 
Our question today is from Kelly K of San Jose, CA and she asks…
“What’s the best way to handle it when my parenting style is completely different then their father’s style?
He’s a command, demand type while I’d rather use positive parenting.”

DO’S & DONT’S CHECKLIST:

1. DON’T correct or criticize his parenting style. I know it’s tempting — but it’s only going to invite a power struggle between the two of you.. You want to avoid anything that will feel like judgment — because it will just make him get defensive and shut down.

2. DON’T disagree about discipline strategies in front of the kids. They’ll quickly learn they can to play one against the other for their advantage.

1. DO have a calm discussion about why you disagree on parenting and discipline styles. Explore how both of you were raised and the positives and negatives that resulted from that parenting style. Listen with an open ear and an open heart. Your objective is to get to common ground but you have to seek to understand his perspective first.

2. DO find one or two aspects of parenting and discipline in which you do agree. You’ll have more success if you focus on the few areas where do agree rather than spending a lot of energy on the many aspects of parenting in which you disagree. If you are enrolled in our PPS Online course — pick 2 or 3 of the tools in the toolbox that you both feel good about using and use those consistently.

3. DO keep doing what YOU’RE doing! Continue modeling the positive strategies that you know work well with your kids. If he sees that your kids are consistently cooperative and well behaved when you use those tools — he’ll be more likely to try them. Of course — when he does try them — resist the urge to give him an “I told you so” — don’t say a word and let him enjoy the results of using the more effective strategies.

4. DO ask yourself the question — “What do we want our child to LEARN from this experience or discipline opportunity?” That helps you focus on what will be most helpful to your child so they can make a better choice next time – rather than arguing over who’s approach is the “right” approach.

I want to hear from you! — What have been your biggest challenges with a spouse or partner who has different parenting philosophies and what has helped you to get at least a bit more on the same page? Let me know in the comment section under this video.

I may pick your discipline dilemma for my next ASK AMY video.
 

I wish you parenting peace. — Amy McCready
