- multiple opportunities to break into their attention
- less likely to throw a temper tantrum
- deal with consequences more calmly
Recall insteaad of confirmation¶
- ask them to repeat what I asked them to do
- what time are we leaving?
- What do you need to do by then?
Structure & Habit¶
- put your backpack in the same place every day
Reasoning (instead of direction)¶
Direction: do A, then B, then C - force obediance
Reasoning: explain/reason through why - 9 PM bedtime - what happens when we go to bed at 10 PM - how do you feel when you wake up? - are we late the next day - when we're late, how do I treat you? (I yell more) - if you're well rested, none of that will happen - how do we get to bed at 9 PM? - what time do we need to start a bedtime routine?
Boundaries + Enforcement¶
Boundaries and enforcement at the same time
Punished for a rule you weren't aware of
Give them plenty of notice
