I spend about 1/2 of my time as a psychologist providing psychoeducation about parenting strategies for kids with behavior problems (mostly PCIT based strategies) --- although by meeting my children you'ld probably never guess I have any knowledge about how to create good behavior!! Bottom line - what I spend the most time reviewing with families --- be positive, try to ignore the negative ("active ignore" - kind of a different form of time-out - changed my life with Trey), make consequences quick and move on, make a plan for success and review/review/review with your child, be consistent, be willing to admit your mistakes to your child (sets a great example of accountabililty), lots of positive praise, lottttss of incentives for success (true behavior mod works best), and as many hugs/kisses as you can fit in even when they are teens -- really thats what I've found works in over ten years of working with difficult children. <BR/><BR/>You might have to ask your children to act up a little more so you can have lots of examples . . . or come be around my children!!

I enjoy working with you at Davis, Washonline, and know you'll be a great TK teacher.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06620485790582241301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180504953377315446.post-43213888850959654012008-12-09T14:29:00.000-07:002008-12-09T14:29:00.000-07:00I think you need to offer the Tough Kid Parenting ...I think you need to offer the Tough Kid Parenting Class online, too.
