Parenting - Beyond saying no

Parenting – Beyond saying no

If you have read any parenting literature lately, you will no doubt be aware that using the word “no” to your children is essential in your arsenal of skills to dealing with behavioural problems.

The first thing we have to accept that saying “no” is not going to instantly resolve the problem. There are likely to be tantrums and outbursts and your child tries to accept – or not accept your answer. How we deal with this, is just as important as using the world no.

Imagine how a child would be in adult life if they had always somehow managed to get around a “no” with bad behaviour. In the words of Richard Branson… “they will either be in jail or a millionaire!!!” You can take your pick as to which is the most likely!!!

When your child reacts to you saying no, deal with them in a calm and consistent manner. You should not feel the need to have to justify your decision further. As a parent you have spoken and your child needs to accept the decision. You should offcourse give reasons why you made the decision early on. The last thing you want your child to be is a “yes” person. What you are trying to teach your child is to follow rules when there are sound reasons.

If they keep acting up, say that a form of punishment will apply (eg they will have to go to their room). Enforce this punishment if they keep acting up.

Overtime, your child will learn to accept your decision and the process should become easier.

Your editor recently looked at a website called www.instant-hynosis.com/. Your editor is a huge beliver in the power the brain has over the body, and hynosis (in particular) self hynosis is a way to key your brain into achieving extraordinary results.

The results can be in any area, health, wealth even happiness. One of the clearest things that you can see through hynosis and the power of the mind, is monks who go out into the snow and melt the snow around their body without getting cold!!! Absolutely amazing.
