How To Get Your Child To Listen

TrueMan — Sun, 10 May 2009 10:12:55 +0800

Source of article: http://1parentingskill.blogspot.com

Getting your children to listen is no easy task, but it is one that can be mastered with time and patience. The miracle of a listening child who does exactly what you want won’t happen overnight, but by using the following tips, it may happen sooner than later.

Preventing problems

Try and see the problem from your children’s point of view. For example, you keep telling your children to clean their rooms, but they won’t do it. Is it because it’s not “cool” to have clean rooms? Will having clean rooms make it harder to find things? How did you feel about cleaning your room when you were a child? By understanding their perspective, you may be that much closer to a solution.

Ask your children why they’re not doing what you want them to do. Sometimes they may just answer “because we don’t want to,” but they also may have a good reason for not doing the task, such as “We need to finish our homework first,” or “Steve is coming over, and we want to make snacks for us.”

Phrase requests politely. Instead of saying, “Clean your room now!,” say, “Please have your room cleaned by 6 p.m. tonight,” or “When you finish with what you’re doing now, please clean your room,” or “You can clean your room now, or in 20 minutes. It’s up to you.”

Work with your children for solutions to problems. For example, if your child always leaves his dirty clothes on the floor, perhaps you could put the clothes hamper in a more accessible place.

Rehearse situations. For example, if your children have trouble getting up on time for school, tell them what they need to do each morning when they wake up, and then rehearse the day before. If your children don’t wake up on time, enter their room, and say, “It’s 7:30 a.m. What do you need to be doing now?”

Don’t take responsibility for your children’s actions. If they have trouble waking up, but you continue to coax them to get out of bed, you both have lost, because the children know you won’t let them be late for school. Tell them you will call them twice, and then do it. Refuse to write them an excuse note if they are late for school.

Avoid ultimatums. They perpetuate power struggles, and make both parties feel resentful. Instead, emphasize the positive aspects of a situation, such as telling your children how great they are going to feel when they finish a major project for school.

Discipline

Speak calmly and reasonably when asking your children to do things. If you yell, they will yell right back.

Discipline your children in private, not in front of their friends, because that will embarrass everyone, and build resentment from your children to you.

Follow through with discipline. For example, if you tell your children not to leave their dirty clothes on the floor, and they do anyway, don’t wash any clothes that are not in the clothes hamper. Don’t back down, even if your children have to wear dirty clothes a few times.

Positive reinforcement

Have faith in your children. For example, if they want help with their homework, offer suggestions as to where they can find the information themselves. Tell them you have confidence in their ability to do the work.

Recognize excellence. When your children listen to you and do what you ask promptly, praise them and tell them how much you appreciate their actions. Also make sure your children hear you say good things about them to your spouse, friends and other adults.

Conclusion

Getting children to listen can be a long, tough process. Children can also be expected to test you once in a while, even if you have the best discipline. Be brief and calm when this happens, and remember that the situation will probably improve eventually. Remember that the final reward will be worth it; you’ll have well-behaved, responsible children who listen to adults.

How To Say No To Your Child

TrueMan — Sun, 10 May 2009 10:02:28 +0800

Taken from www.1parenting.blogspot.com

How to say no to your child and being a consistent disciplinary figure is crucial for your child’s sense of security.

Make a child know the meaning of the word “No”.

When our children are babies they can be so darn adorable that we hate to do anything that displeases them. Most of our time is spent trying to make our children laugh or smile and when it comes time for discipline, many of us take the soft road to spare our own hearts as well as our children’s. It can be soul-wrenching to see a baby’s lower lip turn down and see his entire body shake with sobs from the insult of being reprimanded by those whom he loves so very much. However, if we want to raise children who understand the meaning of the word ‘no’ and want to keep the number of screaming, kicking tantrums to a minimum, we must start from the very beginning with a firm stance that shows we mean business and won’t back down, no matter how adorably sad our little one’s face may be.

You need to enforce the rule

If we tell a baby or child no and then eventually end up letting the child do what he wanted in the first place, we are setting ourselves up for disaster. Even if you have changed your mind and decided that what the child was doing wasn’t so bad after all, you need to stick to your guns and let the child know that what you say, you mean. If he gets his way after a minute or after an hour, he will know he’s got you pegged. Children won’t give up if they see that any sort of behavior gets them what they want, whether it be to just quiet him up until you can get out of a store or doctor’s appointment, or if you’re just too busy to stay on top of him. If you put your child in a time-out for something, you need to enforce it. If you want to do the dishes or laundry and have to leave him, of course he will get out, especially if occasionally, when he does get out, you just let him go on his way because you’re not interested in dealing with the situation at the time. 

Be consistent with your meaning

Of course, we all have times when we just want to throw our hands up in the air and let the child have his way because we are tired or busy or just fed up. These are the dangerous times that give children their glimpse into what might be if the tantrum is long enough, if mom is tired enough, or if there are enough other people watching on. If he sees you give up once, it is possible you will again, and he will never give up. Consistency is the key and when you are consistent with your words and actions, your child will know you mean business.  

Child must have effective discipline

When a child is disciplined effectively, it gives him a real sense of security in the world that you might not realize as you deal with the guilt of having to put a sad face on your dear little cherub. Children who are not let to run the show own a sense of knowing they are cared for and that nothing bad will be allowed to happen to them, even though they may still do bad things from time to time. Children with ineffective disciplining are often frightened by the sense of control they have over the world. Though it may seem hard to believe, children do not want to be the ones in charge, the world is a scary place to them and they need their parents to guide them and be their inner strengths.  

Conclusion

A child with strong sense of “security” can adapt well with others and thrive under changing environment. They can “fit in” easily and be a good team player.

ORDINARY MILLIONAIRES

Today we take the calculator or excel, and do some calculations.

1. INCOME - EXPENSES

This is the most basic step towards financial management. You can do your income-expenses based on daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis depending on your requirement. In normal circumstance we take account of our daily expenses and add it up at the end the month.

Expenses that are once a year - eg. Road Tax, Insurance, divide them by 12 months for monthly expenses. So now you have two columns, left side: Income, bonuses, gifts, discounts. On the right side are your expenses: household, allowances, gifts, petrol, etc, etc. Add the total items both columns. Is there are any excess between income and expenditure? Or is it a deficit?

1.1 WHY?
The “income-expense” allow you to check on how you had spent your money. You would realise that a fair bit of your money had disappear through, “Never mind, it’s only RM10!). Remove that “never-mind” expense by setting a budget. Teach this to your children.
