Parents Talking Back

Parents Talking Back

• Some parents feel they must 'win' arguments with their children.
• If there is a disagreement, explain the matter sensibly and calmy to your child.
• If they are treated as intelligent people they will react positively.
• Make sure you explain why you feel the way you do.
• Ask the child why they feel the way they do and LISTEN to their answer.
• If the 'argument' is over something dangerous, explain the dangers calmly.
• If the child is too young to understand, remove them from the danger.
