Fatherhood in a Technological World – Message #15
Sometimes bringing up a concern with your child takes a more tact than what you may be use to.
It’s okay as a parent to express the way you feel to your child because you want them to be able to do the same, especially before they become a teenager.
When you express your own feelings, it’s not something you use to judge others because how we respond to most situations is simple a reflection of your own attitude and not necessarily the action of the other person.
When it comes to trying to iron out interpersonal stresses, people, and maybe your spouse also, may get self-conscious or defensive when you express your feelings of a negative nature, but I think children are more the type that just accept your expressiveness as something you want to share.
So in order to bring up a concern, it’s okay to start by sharing your feeling, knowing that’s just your personal bent, and then, it’s a good idea to acknowledge the security and commitment of your relationship by expressing some positive sentiment or observation of your child’s behavior before introducing the issue at hand, you can even acknowledge how they have been doing the right action in the past. This makes expressing a criticism more about an isolated action rather than some kind of character flaw.
You’ve heard the saying, that it takes 17 positive remarks to over come 1 negative remark. That’s why the study and repetition of personal development exercise is important to the mindset of both adults and children.
Not every issue that comes up requires the full monty in terms of correcting your child’s errant behavior, but it’s good to keep a few tips at hand in case you need exercise some extra leadership,
