👉If your son is mean to his sister, have him write her a letter of apology. 👉That way, he’s completing an act that teaches him something. Access our "Complete Guide to Consequences" as part of our Total Transformation Online Package 👉 bit.ly/2O07Ybt

When you protect your child from natural consequences, they learn the wrong lessons: ⏩If they screw up, you'll take care of it & ⏩Power can be a substitute for responsibility ⚡Failing is a problem, but failing to learn from failure is a bigger problem. bit.ly/3hns63Y

#Mythbuster! There's a common misconception that if a consequence isn’t given immediately after your child misbehaves, the teaching moment has been lost. ❌ But that’s not true.❌ ✔️You can go back and talk to your child later. And sometimes, it’s better when everyone is calm.

The truth is that adult children need to take responsibility for their future at some point. They need to find ways to build an independent, successful life outside of your home. A mutual living agreement can help make that happen 👉 bit.ly/3t8TmL4

Your child’s attitude is up to your child. No matter how great, or how based in reality your argument is, you can’t force your child to think about the world the way that you do. You can’t make him or her adopt your experiences & your perspective. More ➡️ bit.ly/3yveoFM
