Presentation On: Raising Confident, Resilient, Responsible Children
We had a great turnout for Rachel Bailey’s parent presentation last Thursday, November 2, 2017. A big thank you to the PTA for funding this valuable presentation. Here are some key points from her presentation:
How can we as parents raise confident, resilient, responsible children?
Parenting by Deposit
- Depositing into their emotional needs
- Establishing connection, significance, capability, control, and security.
- Proactively (on an ongoing basis)
- Connecting with our children: i.e. Ask a question about something they care about; develop a family ritual every day.
- Significance: Remember what they say. Ask for their opinion or help.
- Capability: What’s the solution? What do you need?
- In the Moment
- Connect: Understand his/her behavior from HIS/HER PERSPECTIVE (not his SIDE);
- Correct: Create a problem to solve: Boundary-Perspective.
Rachel Bailey is a parenting expert and has an MA in clinical psychology.
