All about Embracing Negativity

Leave your comment

No one can claim that rearing and nurturing kids is an uncomplicated and undemanding experiences. Although this is not an easy task, parents never stop loving and support their kids. The parents’ love and support can help develop self-confidence and enhance self-esteem, and these can be developed through continuous love and undying support by the loving parents.

It is always said that the home is the first place of learning, and the parents are the first teachers of the children. And it is known that the child’s attitudes are greatly influenced by the environment he is in. A family with good and loving environment and nurture the child with the right attitude usually grow up a better person. But there might instances that the children reared in a good manner may be influenced by the peers at school or neighborhood.

In the case of having children with negative attitude, the parents should have to embrace negativity and slowly try to transform your child to positive attitude. Changing a person’s personality is not easy and quick, and that goes to the transformation of children. It needs understanding, acceptance, support and love.

Children with negative attitudes are very difficult to handle because they get easily irritated and agitated. These need a lot of patience and perseverance. A calm and peaceful environment at home must be maintained. Do not meet a negative attitude with negative response because it can aggravate that situation.

Adults can also experience and may have experienced negative attitude. The feeling of guilt for the negative attitude can usually result to negative emotions. So everybody may experience this kind of attitude and your child is not an exception.

As always, negative attitude or feeling will not do any good to anybody. You may be always mean, and your work and daily life activities will definitely be affected negatively too. Your kid may have this feeling so and it may be difficult for him to let it go. The right approach of parents should be in subtle way and talk to the child in the right time and place, and perhaps in right tone of voice. Let him feel the love and compassion.

Encouragement and recognition of the good deeds of your children may help him feel good and may help him change his attitudes eventually. You can always plan with your family for an outing where you can bond and enjoy together. This may be a good start for a healthy and positive environment.

Establishing a positive atmosphere at home can help to create a positive energy in the family. This kind of environment can undeniably help improve the situation and can greatly assist the transformation you want your child to have. Therefore, embracing the child’s negative attitude can be a good idea.

Dealing with Kids’ Use of the Hypodermic Focus

Leave your comment

When we speak of hypodermic focus this ultimately means that only a portion of the whole thing actually exists in our rational thinking hence we end up focusing only on the part of the whole and draw our conclusion about anything from here. Most often, hypodermic focus is used by kids – among society’s age groups. Although it may be said that some adults use this as well, it can be rarely seen and felt.

It is often a wonder for some parent why kids use hypodermic focus and not be like themselves who actually consider things in totality before finally coming up with a conclusion. Well this is why they are “not adults yet” in the first place. Unlike adults, kids can’t fully understand everything – even the less complicated ones.

Kids need constant assurance of love and security hence the fact that they are still in the stage of “rationalizing” things as they see and feel it. They are not so sure whether you actually accept them as they are or only love them because of a part or portion of their being. Because of the lack of security kids interpret things according to their “little or limited understanding”.

For example, if you tell them that “I am angry at you today because of what you did”. Kids would take this as “I am angry at you” only and disregard the whole idea. With but a harmless form of telling your kid that what he did is wrong and should be corrected, he might take this as you hating him as a whole.

It is essential that we are extra careful of the things that we utter and always supplement it with a more thorough explanation especially when this deals with a reprimand or instruction of discipline. This is where we often create the “make or break” in our child’s security of themselves and our love and relationship with them.

When you say “I am angry at you today because of what you did” try to explain and re-iterate to your kid that you are only annoyed with the thing that he did today but that you don’t hate him as a whole. It helps to always emphasize your anger at the act but not at the person so that your kids could understand that he is still loved.

As a parent or adult, it is important that you patiently explain things to kids because their perception of things in general is dependent on how accurate and well you do so. From here, hypodermic focus may be addressed positively.

In conclusion, our kids’ total belief in things and life in general depends on how we perform as parents and adults. Be sure to give the appropriate action in correcting some of our kids’ inadequacy in understanding due to their young age including hypodermic focus.

To Assume Is an Unhealthy Thinking Pattern in Parenting

Leave your comment

When you are fond of assuming with finality or jump into conclusion without looking at the facts yet you are simply cutting off all communication lines. You are closed as what they say.

Once you have already assumed that a certain person did or did not do anything expected of him, there is no way you can still communicate. You have already made up your mind.

The same thing applies to your kids. Sometimes kids assume that they get punished because of some rule that you have set at home. The tendency for these kids is to become overly defensive to the extent of being rude at you. This will go on unless you start to open the communication lines with them by asking first a question.

When you do so, you have to show your sensitivity to his emotions. You do it gently and without any hint that you are accusing him of any wrongdoing. This will make your child feel comfortable that you are not going to hurt his feelings and that you are ready to hear his side of the story.

Thus, even if you have heard that your child has started to smoke, it helps to ask him about it and discuss with him what he thinks are the benefits that smoking can give him. When you confront him and tell him downright that he just made a wrong decision by smoking, you are simply driving him away and perhaps pushing him to do it more.

Remember that kids especially those who are in their adolescence tend to be rebellious. Partly this is because of the many drastic changes that are taking place in themselves from surging hormones to emotional and psychological changes that go with it. As a parent, you must be careful not to give your teen-agers any reason to rebel or be in a prolonged argument with you. This will more likely result to him running towards his peers who mostly are not equipped to handle his issues as well.

There are times though when parents can’t help but suspect about their kid being hooked into something he is not allowed to do. It helps if you keep an eye on him from afar and make sure not to meddle in his affairs. By then you will surely notice some changes in his routine and his behavioral patterns, if he really is into something.

With that, don’t hesitate to consult with his teachers or his guardian or any authority who might be able to help you deal with it.

Help Your Kids Go Through Divorce

Leave your comment

By discussing sensitive issues in the family such as divorce, you are helping your kids cope with its effects better. When you discuss openly in the family every problem that involves the whole family, it helps ease the burden.

Telling your child huge news like divorce requires some preparation and some deep thinking for there are several things that you have to be clear about. First, you have to make it clear with your kids that while their parents are no longer together, not everything will change. You have to assure your kids that you and your spouse will still continue to love them.

You need to assure your kids that despite getting divorced, you will always be a family. Let your kids know that nothing is changed in the setup, except that this time there will be two households. Tell them that the only thing that will change is the marital aspect of your lives, and nothing else.

Hearing about their parents not being together is not easy for a child, so see to it that you are there for them during this rough time. Try as much as you can to answer their concerns – maybe they are afraid that they might have to choose between you and your spouse, or maybe they are worried that their relationship with you will be compromised.

Let your child understand that a divorce does not mean ending your relationship with them. Clarify that although the divorce does end the marital bond between you and your spouse, it does not in any way affect or end your parent and child relationships. Explain these things to your child, but be sensitive with their age and readiness as well.

If your children are still too young, keep your explanations short and easy to understand. But if your kids are a bit of age, say you have teenagers, you can explain a bit more. However, make sure that you do not over explain. Consider your children’s age and feelings. If they are not yet ready, then do not force them. If they are uncomfortable with the idea, do not push it too hard.

But the most important thing that you should do is to let your child know that he is not the reason for the divorce. Make it clear as well that there is nothing that he can do to change your decision. Some kids try to do some things to keep their parents together, so make it clear that the decision is made and that acceptance is the only next step.

Help your kids go through the divorce by encouraging honesty and by letting them air out their feelings. Tell them that they are entitled to whatever they are feeling, and respect their opinions. Legitimize what they feel and offer your support. Help accept the situation by letting them cope at their own pace.
