Focusing on managing a child’s behavior is like running your finances by monitoring monthly payments instead of total costs: it’s merely an illusion of getting somewhere. Consider the child coerced into a chair who says, “I’m still standing up in my heart.” By behavior management standards, that’s a win. But measure that in terms of relationship, and it’s a total loss.
ENERGYPARENTING converts the whole child to success from the inside out. That’s why our strategies focus on nurturing the child’s spirit, and building a relationship strong enough to pull any child from the depths of addiction to negativity and failure into a life of thriving on positivity and success.
Parents, teachers, therapists, mentors and caregivers consistently confirm our own findings: When adults learn to get their energy right – meaning that they learn how to energize a child’s success and how to de-energize negativity – it’s only a matter of time before the child’s behavior aligns in positivity.
Once the principles of energizing success and de-energizing negativity are working their magic, then you’ve got a foundation in place from which to present potent opportunities for self mastery. Our favorite is a credit system, and just like everything else in the ENERGYPARENT’s toolbox, it’s got some 180-degree shifts from conventional credit systems. Our credit system only reinforces positivity, and it quickly expands a child’s math skills, reasoning ability and capacity for personal responsibility. Parents reap rewards from the system too: peace, order and joy!
As you’ll read about in this week’s feature article, “Attention Parents: ‘Credit’ is not a 4-Letter Word,” the way credit permeates our culture, and is rampantly misused to disastrous results, wise is the parent who lets a credit system teach the sometimes painful lessons of economics to a child when the consequences aren’t foreclosure and bankruptcy.
To Everyone’s Compounding Greatness in the Wise Use of Credit!
