RESPECT
From the day they are born, it is important to maintain an attitude of genuine respect for your children. This is the most important component of raising healthy, happy and successful individuals. The need for respect is as fundamental to humans as the need for love or food. People (children included!) always do better when they feel respected. The best part is when you show them respect they will show you respect right back! Raise A Kid R.I.G.H.T. will show you very specific ways to foster respect and help you to understand the foundations of genuine respect.
INVEST
We tell parents: you’re not raising a kid, you’re raising an adult. Raise A Kid R.I.G.H.T. will help you see yourself as an investor in your own future by investing in your children. There are very few things that will bring you peace of mind in your later years than knowing that you raised mentally and emotionally healthy children that have successful lives. Mastering this concept will help you survive the most difficult problems and will help keep you motivated and focused when you are suffering from parent burn-out.
GRANT
Raise A Kid R.I.G.H.T. believes it is vital that parents grant their children the right to their own lives. When a parent takes responsibility for their child’s problems two terrible things happen that demolish self esteem. The first is that the child is never given an opportunity to problem solve. They feel they must have someone solve their problems for them. The second is that the parent sends a message to their child that they are not capable…they don’t trust them to do the right thing. By granting to a child their own life you help make them responsible and capable.
HUMOR
A positive sense of humor is a huge component of effective, low stress parenting. Raise A Kid R.I.G.H.T. will help you to understand how you can deal with the most difficult and painful parenting issues with a positive attitude. A family sitting around the dinner table laughing together is one of life’s greatest joys.
TEACH
Generally, children behave according to how they have been taught to behave (unless a behavioral disorder is present). From the day they are born, all children look to their parents to understand how things, themselves included, work. The Raise A Kid R.I.G.H.T. program emphasizes the fact that parents are always teaching their children - even when they don’t want to be! Looking at your child’s mistakes in behavior as an opportunity to teach them more successful skills will help you be much less emotional and greatly reduce your stress.
