Even if your temperament is not naturally optimistic, you can learn to be a positive parent by mastering the yes method technique.The result is children who are generally happy, cheerful, and have a positive outlook toward life, and it all starts with you, parents.
|
the yes method of child rearing is much more effective than the no method, but it doesn't come naturally. If you have ever said no to your children, only to have them pout, kick, or scream until you ended up saying yes, then you must have realized there has to be a better way...
|
All you have to do the next time your children make a request is to say yes first, unless you really mean no.
|
making the request positive gave the children guidelines- a direction in which to move.
|
Of course it is impossible to be positive all the time there were still times when a firm NO needed to be said, inappropriate behavior had to be corrected.
|
the lack of positive attention can cause tremendous behavior problems in children.
