Sometimes I see parents get so stressed about starting this system that they don't start it in fear of failure. It is like any life style change it takes one step at a time to find success. If we just sit back knowing what we need to do but fail to do it then we really do fail. Raising children, disciplining children, nurturing children, guiding children...these are all steps of parenting..we do them every day without a plan. How many business ventures, adventures or trips would you take without a plan? Hopefully NONE! So stop parenting without a plan.
This system is set up so that you are only the moderator of a game. If you follow the rules, the system will work for you. If you deviate from the rules, then you have now become the rule maker/breaker and your child will see that and they will then have someone to argue the rules with... remember using the system takes out all the emotion of disciplining. Remember, you are not giving them a punishment, they are taking it by going outside of their boundaries... it is their choice! This again relates to life. One day down the road, if your child gives a friend a ride home from school and unknowingly he happens to have some drugs on him and then your child happens to get pulled over for say running a stop sign, and the police gets suspicious because the friend looks nervous and searches the car...guess what....your child will suffer the consequences for a bad choice (in friends) . We must teach our children how to think about their consequences at a young age so that they can have some practice for the real world when they get older. Now, I know that was extreme, but it can be that innocent yet devistating.
You see how this coorelates with real life?
SO TOGETHER LETS MAKE THIS A MOVEMENT
TEACH YOUR FRIENDS TO PARENT IN PEACE (RECOMMEND THE BOOK )
AND SEE A GENERATIONAL CHANGE IN OUR CHILDREN.. THEY ARE WORTH IT!
