FAMILY RELATIONS

ACTIVE PARENTING
children need to learn:

• COOPERATION - working with others will be a very important skill to have
• MUTUAL RESPECT - we can't teach them respect without respecting them
• RESPONSIBILITY - they need to have choices and deal with consequences
• COURAGE - to stand up for something, we can EN*COURAGE them

Always use firm but calm voice, strong voice invites POWER STRUGGLE

"I" MESSAGE - tell your child how you feel, when you own the problem, don't attack the person, attack the problem
