You can’t nitpick your child, constantly.⠀
You can’t wait for the bad behavior, constantly.⠀
You can’t fear the bad behavior, constantly.⠀
You can’t tally the bad behavior, constantly.⠀
You can’t complain about the bad behavior, constantly.⠀
⠀
You can’t remind him of the bad responses, constantly.⠀

⠀
Do you see what I’m getting at?⠀⠀
Your constants become your reality.⠀
⠀
These constant perspectives/approaches further alienate you from your child. ⠀
⠀
Your constant critical laser focus creates stress, sadness, anxiety, and isolation for him.⠀
⠀
Remember, when YOU are at your worst, it is not due to lack of social skills, lack of education, it is often due to stress, unhappiness, depression, anxiety, exhaustion or overwhelm. ⠀
⠀
YOU can ask for help or google for help.⠀
⠀
Your child only has you.⠀⠀
Your child’s bad behavior is merely one element which makes up a whole.⠀
⠀
I am not advocating pretending issues don’t exist. I am merely reminding you a compassionate and well-rounded strategies render higher success rates. ⠀
⠀
Step 1: Seeing your WHOLE child allows you to be objective and empathic.⠀
⠀
Step 2: Seeing your WHOLE child allows you to coach, cheer and appreciate. ⠀
⠀
This is the winning combination. ⠀
⠀
This balanced strategy creates more opportunities for growth, his and yours.⠀
⠀
I am here for you. Judgment free.⠀
Reach out if this strikes a cord.⠀
