Tool
#28. Ask for help to understand
Definition:
Ask children to give examples of what they believe is the problem. If they
realize they are being taken seriously, they may calm down faster than
if a parent lectured or pushed. Talking about a problem may help children
think of solutions.
Example:
A
teenager complains that her mother is being unfair. Mother responds, Ok,
Terry, tell me what I am doing that is unfair. Give me an example so I
understand better what you mean. |
