Parenting with the win-win strategy...
Every ounce of my past says the child should just listen.
My child's pediatrician said from the day they were born, "Listen they will tell you what they need".
In this amazing life you can create a new recipe, a new flavor, a new view point.....
As in life many obstacles come and go, in the journey are you giving loving? Are you receiving love?
This is what is true for me... I have chosen, to let me children chose from as far back as they can remember. Choose from two foods, or two outfits, etc...
I have thought of myself as their guide, because when they leave me they need to be able to make decisions confidently.
I have met with resistance in my methods because it is not others points of view.
This week I felt and saw the win-win method that I learned in college as a management point of view reap amazing rewards.
My children are teenagers, they are amazing, loving and kind. I have witnessed how mature they are for their years. Not only to me but friends and family.
They are teenagers, and they are growing and learning. Wow am I proud of them.
WIN-WIN is teaching happiness, not selfishness.
Awesome win win choices I hear your voice and zi hear their choices breathe breathe breathe
