"Don't _________________!"(fill in the blank)How often do you tell your children, “Use your words”? Rudyard Kipling, Nobel Prize winner and author of the classic children’s books: The Jungle Book and Rikki-Tikki-Tavi said: Are You Using Your Parent Language for the Powers of Good?!We’ve all said... "Don’t run!" "Don’t hit your sister!"
Experience What Happens When You...Take a deep breath…Clear your mind... And then… Read on… And... Don’t think of a blue elephant... What just happened in your mind’s eye? Did you see a blue elephant? Of course you did! Our brains are designed to make pictures in order to understand the world. We have to picture the blue elephant before we can draw that red X through it…so that you can NOT think of it. Imagine What Happens When You Tell Your Child..."Don’t spill your milk!""Don’t run!" "Don’t hit your sister!" Your child makes a picture of milk spilling, running, and hitting his sister. How Do You Get Your Child to Understand You?...Its actually really simple...Before you speak to them...Ask Yourself: “I want you to keep your milk in the glass.” “I want you to hold my hand on the sidewalk.” “I want you to keep your hands to yourself.” Practice Makes Perfect...Be gentle with yourself as you learn this new and powerful language skill.And while you may not win the Nobel Prize, you will win the understanding and respect of your children and all those Communicate More Effectively with Your Boy!
