Most of us do not know get specific education in parenting skills rather we just rely on our gut feel and hearsay to parent the kids. Well nothing wrong with that however the fact is that it will not give you all the required skills and scientific method to deal with kids. You will be at a loss when you have a conflict with the kids.
Now that said there is a very good program which was recommeded by me to a friend which is by the name of the The Total Transformation By James Lehman
Here are some of the golden rules which he suggest that you should use. I am telling you these so that you can learn more about these with coach itself Mr. Lehman.
rule #1 - Teach your kids how to solve problems. He says that when they do not know how to solev problems only then the kids start to abuse and throw tantrums.
rule#2 - Always make direct statements and it helps in your communication
rule#3 - Do not communicate if the kids behavior is wrong
rule#4 - do not allow bad behavior in a plublci place . In case teens just leave them at the scene and let them figure out the way to reach home.
rule#5 - Unconditional love is good but then the kids can use it against you. So make sure that you love the kid responsibly. This way you love the kid but in a good way and that helps in building a good relationship as well it will make sure that you have the best interests of the kid at heart.
These are just some of the samples of the way James Lehman has taught a lot of his clients and they have gone onto to become very good parents and brought up their kids in a very good manner.
Here is another person who has spoken at great lengths about the merits of The Total Transformation and he has in fact given a nice summary of what that means for you.
