[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] 6. [b]If you say less, your child will listen more[/b]. By providing a steady stream of minor comments about things that don’t really matter, you are teaching your child to stop listening to you. They have to stop, for their own preservation, because who can go through life with someone harping on them all the time? Choose your words carefully and only speak about things you really care about. Most of what you say should be serving the purpose of fostering a loving connection.[/quote] This I agree with. You say to your 13 year old child (yes, a child) "There is no other food unless you eat dinner we have prepared" 12 words. That's all you need. If he disobeys, no additional words are needed. The immediate (and natural!) consequence is that pantry snacks are no longer purchased. Easy peasy. [/quote]
