Richard O'Keef teaches parenting to incarcerated dads. He knows what put them on paths to drugs, gangs and crime. And he knows how to help parents keep their children from going down similar paths. He has written "911, What is Your Parenting Emergency?".
I want every parent to read this book, so today it is free. Click here: www.amazon.com/911-What-You...

Making a request or giving a directive is setting a boundary (teaching an expectation). You can train kids to cooperate after the first ask.

Before children will be receptive to your teaching and responsive to your correcting, you must have a good connection - a strong relationship. You do that by meeting the first 3 emotional needs. When you do that, setting and enforcing boundaries becomes much easier.

Each of your children have 4 emotional needs that must be met. When you meet these needs, good things happen. When you don't... well, that's when struggling happens.

Acknowledging negative feelings might feel awkward at first, but it's what your child desperately wants and needs to hear. It's how you meet his or her need to feel heard and understood (one of the 4 emotional needs). The more you practice, the better you get.

Skill #8, Acknowledging Negative Feelings, helps children to release emotional pain instead of bottling it up. It clears and prepares their mind to problem-solve.

All children have 4 emotional needs that must be met. When parents meet those needs, good things happen. When they don't, that's when struggling happens.

The next few posts deal with the 3rd emotional need: To be heard and understood.
