“For love of country they accepted death, and thus resolved all doubts, and made immortal their patriotism and their virtue.

We do not know one promise these men made, one pledge they gave, one word they spoke; but we do know they summed up and perfected by one supreme act the highest virtues of men and citizens.

For the noblest man that lives there still remains one task, the last and greatest: to die for man and country.” - James A. Garfield, Decoration Day Address (1868)

To Do Today: Live a life worth defending.

Hey Parents,

This week’s Parent SKILLZ post includes a worksheet to help you build your CONSISTENCY skills!

On the worksheet, you will journal three CONSISTENCY assignments. These will help you parent in a more productive manner. Complete the worksheet within one week and post a picture of it for a chance to win cool prizes.

The goal is to help you seek out opportunities to parent with ‘consistency.’ Once you learn how to apply this skill on a regular basis, you will notice big improvements in your child’s behavior!

Hey Parents,
Kara here and I wanted to share some great tips on the Parent SKILLZ strategy: CONSISTENCY.

As I posted last week, “Be as consistent as possible regardless of your mood.”
When it comes to parenting, it is important to have CONSISTENCY. The problem is, being consistent is hard. However, children need to be able to count on you not to ‘lose it’ if they make a simple mistake, and that you will still be loving when you are in a bad mood.

So, what does it take to parent with CONSISTENCY?

For starters, be consistent with your rules to help mold proper behavior. Kids need structure. With that said, be sure to plan ahead with your rules and expectations so you are prepared to calmly implement your plans when necessary. At the same time, don’t make irrational threats that you can’t/won’t follow through on.

Get in touch with what really matters. If you enforce rules sometimes and then other times you don’t because the rule really isn’t that important to you, then perhaps you should abandon that rule. For example: why can’t your child have dessert with dinner if they eat everything on their plate? Why make them wait for dessert until after they eat everything else, especially if you already plan on giving them dessert regardless?

Deploy consistent reinforcement. Behaviors can be conditioned if you consistently reinforce them. This includes both positive and negative behaviors that are important. For example: telling your child how proud you are when they have good behavior at a restaurant will help condition that specific behavior. At the same time, if your child knows there’s a consequence every time they break a rule that is important to follow, then they are more likely to stop that behavior. For example: if they throw their iPad when they are angry, then they lose iPad time for an entire day. If you sometimes let that rule slide, then they are more likely going to take chances on that behavior.

Model the behavior you desire from your child. For example: when enforcing rules, keep your emotions out of it. This can be hard, especially when you’ve had a stressful day. However, when you address rules calmly and rationally, then you are showing your child you can manage your emotions. This will help them learn how to manage their own behaviors regardless of mood.

Again, being consistent as a parent is not easy. However, if you consciously pay attention to this skill over the next few weeks, then you will for sure make some progress.

Reminder no regular classes today for our annual Mom & Me classes!
