Communicate openly with your child from "summary" of 1-2-3 Magic for Christian Parents by Thomas W. Phelan
When you're trying to make a point with your children, you need to be as clear as possible. Being straightforward is especially important when you're laying down the law. So, when you're giving your children a 1-2-3, it's crucial to communicate openly with them and make sure they understand what's happening. As you probably know, communication isn't always easy. Sometimes we have to say things we know our children won't like, or that we think they won't understand. But we have to say them anyway.
When you're communicating with your children, you need to be as clear and consistent as possible. There's no room for ambiguity or mixed messages. If you say you're going to do something, you need to follow through. If you tell your child they're on a 1-2-3, they need to know what that means and what the consequences will be if they don't straighten up. Open communication is the most powerful tool you have in your parenting arsenal. When you're able to communicate openly with your children, you create an atmosphere of trust and understanding. Your children will know that they can come to you with their problems, and you'll be there to listen and help.
Open communication is a two-way street. It's not just about you talking to your children; it's also about listening to what they have to say. When you're able to listen to your children without judgment, you show them that their feelings and opinions matter. This kind of open dialogue can help strengthen your relationship with your children and make it easier for you to guide them in the right direction. So, when you're disciplining your children, remember to communicate openly and listen to what they have to say. It may not always be easy, but it's an essential part of being a good Christian parent.
