4 Basic Skills for Parents and Children Part 2 // Janice Mireles and Rachael Moss
<p>Teaching children to accept “no” answers and follow instructions are critical skills. When family members learn these skills and incorporate them into their daily lives, behaviors can be corrected and the parent-child relationship is more connected. Janice Mireles and Rachael Moss, parenting experts and Teaching Self-Government mentors, join Courtney and Carley for the second part in a discussion about the 4 basic skills every child and parent needs. For the first two skills, check out Season 2 Episode 8.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span> This episode is part of the Connections within Motherhood series, airing May 2023.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Call to Action:<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span></strong></p> <p>“Using these fundamental skills can create so much success in so many<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> areas, but even if you teach these skills daily, you won't be able to see the connection that you want, you won't live your family mission or reach your vision if your tone isn't right. So my call to action is to notice your tone!</p> <p> </p> <p>Take a deep breath before you speak. Look into your children's eyes when you speak, and feel love and trust toward them. Believe the best of them. I know this can be hard when we have such deep neural pathways and lifelong habits of lecturing or snapping and griping, yelling, whatever it may be. So at first, just notice and practice and see what a difference that alone makes.” - Janice Mireles</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Show Timeline:</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>0:00 Guests and topic introduction</p> <p> </p> <p>2:30 Accepting no answers: includes criticism (positive and negative) and not getting what you prefer</p> <p> </p> <p>5:30 Using disagree appropriately skill within the “accepting a no answer” skill</p> <p> </p> <p>12:45 Pre-teaching plug, rewarding vs. bribing, communicating with pre-teens and teenagers</p> <p> </p> <p>16:00 Dropping the subject with your mouth and your mind</p> <p> </p> <p>18:15 Following instructions: be clear, break down tasks, make sure task is accomplishable for the child, children blooming under praise afterwards</p> <p> </p> <p>21:00 Check back: the last step in following instructions</p> <p> </p> <p>24:00 When instructions are consequences, they do NOT need to be negative.
