Have you ever had one of those moments when you described something that you’d like your child to do, but after your brilliant, clear explanation, you realized that your child didn’t hear a word of it? Oftentimes, we try to get the result we want by telling our kids what to do without taking the time to really listen and see things from their perspective. Taking this approach can turn parenting into an exhausting chore and can damage the parent-child connection. At the end of the day, we still want to feel close to our kids. How do we make sure that our kids hear us, while still tuning in to them and staying connected? Motivational Parenting (MP) provides a roadmap for effectively parenting kids using empathic listening skills, providing guidance and limit setting, and offering choices. You don’t have to be the “bad guy” to get things done. With MP, you will build connections with your child that will last a lifetime. Happy parents, happy kids. You don't have to choose.
