Go from DON’T….to DO!

Instead of telling you child what NOT to do, tell them what you WANT them TO DO!

Why does it matter? Well, this is how their brains are wired. It is much quicker and easier for their brains to process “what” to do. For example, say “please keep your hands to yourself or on your lap. Your brother doesn’t want you to touch him right now while we are driving in the car”. This is much easier to process and understand.

And, be as concise and short as possible. If you can say it with blah blah then there is no need to say blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You lost them after blah, blah!!!

Now, go have a marvelous Monday!~and shorten your “blahs”
