Your Ultimate Power As a parent is your ability to stay calm.
Calmness is not giving in, is not accommodating your child misbehavior and is not being permissive.
It is being in control of your own emotions confident in your decision and in charge in charge of the situation.
Punishment is not power. It is typically the result of feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. Maybe it's just what you're most familiar with or you don't know how to control your emotions at the moment, you then give into punishment...
For e.g if 6 years your child picked what does not belong to him or her your first instinct as a parent is to punish the child severely so that he or she will not try such again... But ask your self does it really work in the long run. What punishment does is to create fear and immediate, short lived obedience in kids... But if you ask your child calmly why he or she had to pick what's not his. You'll get to know the root cause of the problem and see how you can help your child... Every child that misbehave needs your help more than punishment...
I'll continue from here in our next post.
I know it's not easy to stay calm. But also it's possible.
