Unusual Tips to Effective Parenting

4 Facts You MUST Understand if you are Ever Going to Effectively Deal with the Terrible Twos or Child Behavior Problems

1. Behavior is driven by Emotion, NOT Logic. This is fundamental to everything. Behavior, for any person of any age, is determined by their emotional state. People ACT from their emotions, and they later JUSTIFY their actions with logic. But small kids don’t have the ability to use logic, so they act purely from emotion.

2. We tend to overuse the word “No” when we talk to our kids. You remember the story of the boy who cried wolf, right? The little shepherd boy was bored while watching the sheep so he decided to cry wolf and make the villagers come running. Before long, they stopped responding to his false cries. When a parent cries “No” at every little thing, kids stop listening. The parent’s cries fade into the background. I’ll teach you multiple ways to get what you want without screaming “NO” at your child – and it simply works better!
