Tip 6: How to limit conflict
Parents are only human! They over-react when their children misbehave. This is likely to increase conflict and make it harder for their children to follow the family rules.
Promote good behaviour by combining a calm authority with kindness and respect.
- Here are some ways to limit conflict:
- keep children occupied and plan the day together
- avoid activities that you know they’re going to find frustrating
- if you see a melt down coming, do something fun or funny like a raspberry!
- pick a quiet safe place where they can calm down if they get upset
