As parent of two's..... I should:
-STAY CALM
If you as an adult raise our voice, you will probably lose this game. Strive to stay clam no matter what
-SEE YOURSELF AS IMPERFECT PERSON - constantly being judge by family, community and school. Logical consequences of being a good parent do not always warrant positive outcomes. Don't allow child to divide the parents. Parent training can be a lifesaver.
-BE PROACTIVE, NOT REACTIVE.- This will not go away just by ignoring it. Anticipate problems in advance whenever possible. Stop any actions before negative behavior begin
-CHOOSE YOUR BATTLES - when giving negative attentions. too much negative attentions is positive. Focus on the necessary areas only.
-GIVE LOTS OF PRAISE and POSITIVE FEEDBACK FOR SMALL SUCCESSES AS WELL AS BIG ONES. - Remember this has probably experience a lot of failure, try to compliment any and all good things the child does.
