When you protect your child from natural consequences, they learn the wrong lessons:
⏩If they screw up, you'll take care of it &
⏩Power can be a substitute for responsibility

⚡Failing is a problem, but failing to learn from failure is a bigger problem.

We are talking a LOT about consequences this week!

🎙️Today's podcast dives into how to use consequences effectively. Tune in via https://t.co/KhoO1QO0Bs

[Empowering Parents @Emp_Parents]

#Mythbuster! There's a common misconception that if a consequence isn’t given immediately after your child misbehaves, the teaching moment has been lost.
❌ But that’s not true.❌
✔️You can go back and talk to your child later. And sometimes, it’s better when everyone is calm.

If your child pushes your buttons, yells, or calls you names, it’s hard not to personalize it. So what should you do or say? Here are some effective techniques we explain to parents during our online parent coaching sessions 👉 https://t.co/YxaeZL6BZO

Kids can make it incredibly hard for parents to say ⛔'NO.'⛔ But over time, we can get stuck in a pattern of giving in to our children's whims even though we want to set firm limits. It’s never too late to start taking back your parental authority.➡️ https://t.co/amB0CaiGLG

Parents often think that if they can find a new way to encourage their child, he/she will magically start achieving more.

Unfortunately, the problem is that these kids are motivated to resist, to withdraw, and to underperform. They act out by acting in. https://t.co/NZyLmmQl1Q

For all you parents with adult kids struggling to leave the "nest," this quote holds great insight.🐦

Although your adult child may be living in your home, you can still enforce rules for your own peace and to help them prepare for flight & independence. https://t.co/5QZLGefCDa

[Empowering Parents @Emp_Parents]

We believe there’s no such thing as good kids or bad kids.

❌Kids labeled “bad” are kids who don’t know how to solve their problems.

Your goal as a parent is to give your child the tools to learn good behavior. It’s never too late.

The truth is that adult children need to take responsibility for their future at some point. They need to find ways to build an independent, successful life outside of your home. A mutual living agreement can help make that happen 👉 https://t.co/fPSRmjkP97

[Empowering Parents @Emp_Parents]

Your child’s attitude is up to your child. No matter how great, or how based in reality your argument is, you can’t force your child to think about the world the way that you do. You can’t make him or her adopt your experiences & your perspective.

When a parent says, "My child will never change," they’re also saying, “My parenting style will never change."
