Parenting


Parents have the responsibility to protect their children and prepare them to survive and thrive. And for them to have courage, cooperate, be responsible, and have respect. For children to have a belonging, the parents should offer contact freely, teach the children to contribute to chores, the family or a team. Children also need to learn different stages of power and protection. For power they should be given responsibility in age appropriate situations. For protection parents should have the correct amount of assertiveness and forgiveness to their children.
When parents and children argue or children argue with other children, parents need to understand who owns the problem. In other words, who does the issue really bother or affect. Once this is understood the parent can try to make sure that those who do not own the problem will be more considerate of the other’s needs, or to make the problem go away for the one who owns it.
