Price of Warped Mirrors

Genuine Encounter

Focused attention. -Adults should never avoid quality time, distancing onself is not an option. -Be emotionally present. This nourishes respect and says I care.- Make children the priority. -It is said grandparents do the things with their grandchildren they did not get to do with their own children.-Research indicates a shift amongst men and women as they begin to revisit their nurturing culture-Adults should not feel guilty if they have something scheduled and miss time with their children, as long as adults are their genuinely and whole heartedly the majority of the time.-Children do need “booster shots” of encounter.

Safety of Trust

When adults are quiet, kind, and friendly it builds trust-Keep promises, avoid surprises, support adventures, share relevant information-

Avoid mixed messages (3 types):

1. words not matching body language (child may worry they did something wrong), use age appropriate honestyie. Parent comes home seeming said, child asks if they are ok, parent says fine. Appropriate response should be had a hard day but things will work out. -Another mix message to avoid is “anything you want”Over Permissive Home: Set rules and boundaries and avoid being too accommodating. -Some of the most unhappy children come from over permissive homes. When children with no rules enters an organized world, then the mix message experience wipes out safety of trust3. Watered down message (do not dilute messages): -Researchers tell us adults soft pedal emotions and feelings to come off as the in charge adults-However, evidence clarifies adults with high self- esteem do not have to deny what they feel, the adults self acceptance gives the security to be open-Open ownership of feelings demonstrates that feelings are legitimate and everyone will feel more like real people. Use moments to teach children expected behaviour Dr. Phil

Safety of Nonjudgment

must not be a judge, be a reactor instead.-If the child’s personal worth is depended on performance, personal value is subject to cancellation with every misstep.Be supportive by using “I” statements. “you are” statements cast blame-Research shows praise is better than punishment-Must recognize the difference between positive labels (good and nice) and approval ( I appreciate)

Safety of being cherished

Children survive on acceptance but they do not blossom on itI love you but I do not love what you are doing”. We can cherish someone and separate that from their behaviourChildren need to feel loved and be treated as precious and valuable just because they exist.

Safety of owning feelings

Adults sometimes refuse to let children own feelings.-Researchers are speaking about the freedom to feel, not to act

Safety of Empathy

Researchers tell us human understanding brings warmth, comfort and safety. It bridges the gap of alienation.-Listen with your heart, then your head. A child that is nurtured to accept others differences, makes it easier for them to be empathetic-Research shows that one of the patterns found in the home of children with high self-esteem, there is a lot of free and easy talk. Children feel free to express themselves

Safety of Unique Growth

Not all children mature at the same time in the same way-Regression may be experienced when a child has a new sibling in the picture and act like a baby-Research tells us we do not need to push, urge, or forbid development -As child are faced with challenges, we should expect them to settle for safety first-Adults are then expected to retreat without dishonor -Children will embrace the unknown when they are ready
