Dr. Hank Schlinger has an extensive list of impressive and valuable contributions to the field. Today he joins me to discuss his brand new book, How to Build Good Behavior and Self-Esteem in Children.
Parenting is so hard and along with it comes responsibility that will span your child’s entire life. Whether your child has an autism diagnosis or not, parenting is parenting. Dr. Schlinger discusses the idea of intentional parenting, in which, as parents, we consistently reinforce and model good behavior and set clear boundaries. Dr. Schlinger also goes over 5 common problems parents face that contribute to behavior and self-esteem.
- Parents are unaware of how their child's behavior affects them and vice versa.
- Parents believe just telling their kids what to do should work.
- Parents teach their child to ‘be the boss’
- Parents ignore good behavior and reinforce bad behavior
- Parents think that a good kid or a bad kid is just the luck of the draw.
During this awesome conversation, Dr. Schlinger discusses each of these problems and offers solutions for parents to be more intentional as well as build good behavior and self-esteem. You can find his book on Amazon or find out more by visiting the book's website.
