I am a better person, a better parent, every single time I listen to Amy McCready's coaching.
There's a good reason she is a TODAY Show parenting expert, my goodness - the way she explains why consequences aren't the answer, how rewards set our kids up for massive problems (blew my mind!!) and gives us practical toolbox phrases we can just start using today, it's truly enriching.
Even if you've heard Amy speak before, I worked hard to ask new questions that definitely made me think!
- WHY looking for consequences is a losing proposition and what we can do instead
- What the research says about the negative consequences for child and family with reward systems
- How to create more opportunities for power struggles (guessing you're wanting to antidote that that one! She shares that too) ;)
- Praise labeling, and why it's all too easy to fall into the trap
- One phrase that gives kids ownership of their behavior
- The benefits of teaching kids to cook, from a positive parenting perspective
- What "pendulum parenting" is (and my confession)
- The 3 words you need to start using today...mostly in your own head
