These methods have worked so well for my family!!! My son enjoys life a lot more now that he can solve his problems!

@vaunderbroad We are happy it works for you! Thx for sharing!

My son says, "Good Luck!? Whaaaat!?"

What if someone actually did steal the coat? Some kids are cruel that way. I personally would go over every single thing with the child and then say, "Go look around for 10 mins and see if you can find it, and if you can't I'll help you".

I started using Love and Logic classroom techniques my first year teaching in a behavioral classroom. Administrators and veteran teachers couldn't believe how efficiently my classroom ran and were always asking my advice.

Now I have a 3 year old and am employing the parenting techniques. It requires a lot of dedication and consistency, but it's worth it.

It's disappointing to see negative comments from people who have clearly only watched a clip or two rather than learning the entire method.

P.E.T. is the best! Parent Effectiveness Training. A real easy read too, lots of immediate applications, and works for all relationships, not just with your kids. Active Listening.

I think that if you show enough empathy and offer lots of help and advice, they will feel empowered when they go off to sort out the problem.

@missyandtom and they will most likely rebel against these methods once the parents do not have the power any more. If they don't rebel, they'll most likely be scared of authority all their lives and it will manifest in other ways.

@sunmaidliz ha ha. I don't have a therapist. I've been looking into other parenting methods and started P.E.T. last week and it's basically exactly what I wrote about. I was right about the power thing. Maybe you should look into it???

[sunmaidliz]

@missyandtom You probably shouldn't generalize your own issues with the rest of the world. Didn't your therapist teach you that?

[missyandtom]

I remember being told "good luck"... It just made me feel like the grown up didn't care and in a way was making my problem like it was nothing... I've been watching some of these videos and it reminds me of the way I grew up. When my own kids are around those same people I see my kids get kind of down because these statements like "good luck" is degrading. This kind of parenting is for parents that need power and control. If you parent like this your kids will grow up frusterated.
