Giving Children Choices Challenge

I thought I would start a new feature here on my blog.  I want to challenge you to add/practice one discipline and/or parenting technique each month.  I will ask about it a few times a month and see how everyone is doing!

The first challenge is to give your children choices. (Read the post for ideas and review)

 

Quick Tips

Start off by giving your child/children two choices.

Give the choices by saying “Would you like …….”

Try to give them choices throughout the day.

If there is a certain time when power struggles usually occur, try to offer choices BEFORE this time comes.

 (sorry the picture is a little fuzzy, my oldest took it!)  😉

My favorite choice I gave my children today was: “Do you want your sandwich cut in triangles, rectangles, or squares?

What was your favorite you gave to your children today?
