Positive Parenting

Thought: Traditional parenting approaches give much more energy to negative behaviors than to positive behaviors, sending the message that:

• Negativity is a quick and easy (think fast-food) way to connect (meet emotional needs)
• Positive behaviors are not very important
• “Pushing buttons” is a way to gain power over parents

Try This! Set aside an hour today to focus on positive behavior.
