When Agreements are Broken
It happens all the time.
Your kids have violated curfew, broken
something, or made some other kind of mistake. And
when you first find out, there's a lot of negative
energy in the air.
While it's easy to get angry, and shame and
blame your kids, there's a better approach. Take a
deep breathe, and ask your child a series of
questions:
- What happened?
- What did you do?
- What were you feeling?
- What did others do?
- How could you have handled it
differently?
These questions help parents to get to the
bottom of the situation without shaming. When the
information is shared, take some time before
deciding the consequence.
And remember, "It behooves a father to be
blameless if he expects his child to be."
(Homer)
