Model positive behavior yourself from "summary" of The Power of Positive Parenting by Glenn Latham
As a parent, it is crucial that you understand the importance of leading by example. Children learn best by observing the behavior of those around them, especially their parents. This means that if you want your child to exhibit positive behavior, you must first demonstrate that behavior yourself. When you model positive behavior, you are showing your child how to act in a way that is respectful, kind, and responsible. This can include things like using polite language, showing empathy towards others, and taking responsibility for your actions. By consistently demonstrating these behaviors, you are setting a clear example for your child to follow. It is important to remember that children are always watching and learning from their parents. This means that even when you think your child may not be paying attention, they are still absorbing information from your actions. By consistently modeling positive behavior, you are helping to shape your child's understanding of what is considered acceptable and appropriate behavior. Additionally, when you model positive behavior, you are creating a positive and nurturing environment for your child to grow and thrive in. Children who are raised in an environment where positive behavior is consistently demonstrated are more likely to exhibit those same behaviors in their own lives. This can lead to stronger relationships, better communication, and improved overall well-being for both you and your child.- By modeling positive behavior yourself, you are not only teaching your child valuable life lessons, but you are also creating a strong foundation for their future success. So remember, the next time you are faced with a challenging situation, take a moment to consider how you can demonstrate positive behavior for your child to emulate.
