Helping Anxious Children: Empowering Carers, Educators and Parents with Proven Strategies

Episode 082: Effective discipline for oppositional kids starts with understanding these 5 themes

Parenting children through their opposition and defiance can be tough because it pushes our buttons. It can be difficult not to take their resistance personally. But keep the following principles in mind and you'll find your efforts to discipline your children a little less challenging:

Here are the 5 themes:

- Connect first, fix second

- Parental self-regulation is important

- Don't forget to mind the environment

- Remember that children are not small adults (beware the curse of knowledge) 

- Children are not pets (i know it sounds ridiculous to state this but it's not as silly as it sounds)
