Hi Parents
Have you thought about what your family values are? It's a simple question that takes some thinking about. When the question was posed to me I had to really think about it. I know what they are, of course, I just had a hard time listing them. And why should I have to, I live them ( at least I try). The thing is, it's really important to identify and talk to your children about your family values. Sometimes as adults we just expect children to know what's right or wrong. We can't expect good behavior... we have to grow it. Having the family values discussion will clear up some grey areas for them and it will make it much easier for you to pick your battles. Is it higher on your list for your child to have a clean room or to be nice to a friend in need? Let them know!
Please send me your questions and/or comments. If you or someone you know would benefit from a Parent Coach, let me know. Happy parenting.
