1 serving

download the strategy that will help you set limits

1 serving

why they do exactly the opposite of what you ask

1 can

maybe they are testing limits. because they do this sometimes. but it can also have to do

1 serving

don't run! stop running

1 serving

don't climb there

1 serving

please don't jump from there

1 serving

don't jump from the couch

1 serving

stop running on the slippery floor

1 serving

don't throw your toys like this

1 serving

i was realizing that i was becoming a nagging mom that never wanted to become. and i was hating it

1 serving

they focus exactly on the behavior that we are trying to stop

1 serving

interesting

1 serving

luckily there is an easy fix: replacing negative language

1 serving

instead of telling the child what they shouldn't do

1 serving

negative language tells the child what they shouldn't do. it doesn't give any suggestions of positive actions that the child could take

1 serving

when i tried this

1 serving

another thing happened. i started to say “stop” and “don't” a lot less often. these words became more powerful when i needed to use them

1 serving

if you face the same struggle

better alternatives to using negative language

1 serving

don't run ⇒ please walk

1 serving

don't jump ⇒ please go down slowly

1 serving

don't yell ⇒ please use a quiet voice

1 serving

don't hit ⇒ please be gentle

1 serving

don't ride your bike so fast ⇒ please slow down

1 serving

don't throw the toys ⇒ please put them gently on the ground

1 serving

don't talk to me like that ⇒ please use kind words

1 serving

don't grab the toy out of another kid's hands ⇒ please use your words and ask

1 serving

don't play

1 serving

don't slam the door ⇒ please close it gently / without making a noise

1 serving

stop that loud tantrum ⇒ i'm here

1 pt

don't interrupt me ⇒ please wait until i finish talking

3

these are examples. but once you get used to the approach you'll see that you can transform any negative phrase into a positive one
