Discipline Delights! *How empowering children delivers us from frustration

Yes, discipline can be a delight we all have structure to our day we have structure to our lives, everything has structure not strictness. There are many factors of disciplining a little one, and does not require any punishment. Always do a deal with learning and positive affirmation. 

We only learn by our errors and children need to play and experiment they are scared to get things wrong, it is vital to remember this, they only do as they do because they only want to meet YOUR EXPECTATIONS! 

So what is positive affirmations? Well the best way to see it as empowering the child to understand there is a better way to do things and “(name) I know you aren’t like that, you are a good girl/boy and I know you can do (this action) better next time, so you know what is best to do, well done.”  So it is crucial to ‘inform’ them, not to ‘tell’ them that it’s a learning curve. 

Empowering children delivers us from frustration, understanding that there needs to be a repetition of this “you are a good girl/boy you don’t usually do this” because they only learn by your expectations but we have no limits to our ‘place in life’ we only restrict our children and ourselves by saying “oh you’re always doing that” “oh you don’t ever listen do you!” You know as the adult it never works so just don’t do it, watch what you say because it takes a lot of work to be undone.
