Why C
Why children Don’t Listen?
I hear this complaint from parents a lot “My child doesn’t listen,” what they really mean is that my child doesn’t obey.” Parents give orders and children resist orders. If you are experiencing power-struggles with your children, take a look at your part in creating the power-struggle. Most kids don't listen to parents because parents talk too much and don't give children a good model of what listening is about. Children learn what they live. How can they learn to listen if parents don’t model what listening looks like? Children will listen to you AFTER they feel listen ed to. Most kids cover their ears when the lectures start. They may not have the courage to do it physically, but they find other ways to "tune out."
I will support your children and family with the following:
-
Creating a routine, helping with misconduct at home or school.
-
Constant whining and complaining.
-
Misbehaviour in shops or in public.
-
Constant tantrums, refusal to complete given tasks, disobedience etc.
-
Build children’s self-esteem and confidence.
-
Manage behaviour and emotional problems.
-
Problem-solving with your children.
-
Reduce parents’ stress.
-
Establish positive daily routines and goals.
-
Develop connected and close family relationships.
-
Training strategies for parents.
-
Build children’s self-esteem and confidence.
Children DO better when they FEEL better
Teenagers
Kind and Firm
Now you have a teen who is learning to be an adult. Parents struggle with this concept for many reasons. One is that they often don’t feel like being kind when a teen has pushed their buttons. Again, adults expect teens to control their behaviour when adults don’t control their own behaviour.
Parents have difficulty knowing what kind and firm looks like. They may be stuck in the vicious cycle of being too firm when upset—or because they don’t know what else to do; and then being too kind to make up for being too firm.
I am here to help you with your teenagers with the following:
-
Angry and aggressive attitudes.
-
Low motivation and lack of interest to engage with friends, people, or activities.
-
Low self-esteem or egocentrism.
-
Disputes over the teen's curfew.
-
The teen's choice of friends.
-
Spending time with the family versus with peers.
-
Manage behaviour and emotional problems.
-
Develop connected and close family relationships.
-
Training strategies for parents.
Dear Teenagers: We may annoy you, lecture you, embarrass you, drive you crazy and even make you hate us some days.
But NO ONE will ever love you like we do.
