Parenting questions for Dr. Mary and Lynn
Words to Use to Teach Your Child to be Assertive Rather than Aggressive
“I hate you!” “You can’t make me.” “You are stupid!” “No, I won’t!” When your child stomps his feet and declares you are the worst parent in the world, it is not easy to keep your cool. That’s when it’s important to realize your child is attempting to assert himself, an essential life skill, but he doesn’t know how to do so tactfully.
Words to Use When Setting Limits
If a behavior is unsafe, hurtful, or disrespectful to self, others, or the environment, it’s time to step in and set a limit. A limit tells the child what needs to happen. Why it needs to happen. When it needs to happen and what you will do if it does not happen. A limit can be used to either stop or start a behavior.
