Your Parent/Guardian Toolbox
Posted: Fri Aug 05, 2016 7:12 pm
Almost everyone has had an experience where they've seen a parent or guardian responding to their child's behavior in a way that they don't agree with or wouldn't do themselves. It could be someone letting their kids scream in a grocery store or a rule about not watching TV after dinner. And even though you might not be thinking about having kids at that moment, or ever, you think to yourself, I don't like the way they did that. That's not a tool that I want to put into my toolbox.
But have you ever had the opposite experience? Have you ever seen someone talk to their child/teenager in a way where you thought to yourself, I like that.. I might like to do that one day if I ever had a kid. Are there any family/household rules that you've had or that others' families have had that you have particularly liked?
