I often get questions from parents on how to respectfully resolve issues with children and teenagers. It’s important to understand your children and their perspectives first, understand their brain science and then work on resolving the problems. It’s like “connection before correction”, connect with your children, work on your relation with them and then focus on correcting them, but do so respectfully.
I am sharing one of the easiest ways to connect and correct – focusing on solutions with your kids while helping them learn valuable life skills. This activity is connect-correct-connect, (known as a sandwich method in parenting) and helps your children become great problem solvers, good decision makers, and confident, and teaches them to handle situations respectfully, and most of all creates a wonderful connection with you. Ahh its a no shouting, yelling, hitting or nagging solution, this handbook has all the details on how to use it at the end of the document.
Note: Avoid any blame, shame, or name-calling during this process, focus on connecting and understanding the child.
