Mutual dignity and respect.
- Making sure the message of love gets through.
- Providing a foundation of kindness and firmness at the same time.
- Seeing mistakes as wonderful opportunities to learn.
- Getting into the child’s world- understanding that a misbehaving child is a discouraged child, and the importance of dealing with the belief behind the behavior.
- Helping children explore the consequences of their choices instead of imposing consequences.
- Family meetings to teach problem-solving and communication skills.
