Katie has put a lot of time into her positive parenting. The problem is she can be a little too positive when trying to motivate her 5-year-old. Understanding her daughter’s temperament is a must for Katie to set appropriate expectations so as not to be inconsiderate of her needs. Katie would never intend to be inconsiderate, but when we break it down what happens, that’s what it is. This episode is a great lesson in what I call Connective Communication (the updated version of How to Talk to Kids so They’ll Listen) which is the only way to truly express empathy (not necessarily agreement). We all just want to be understood. That is the way to motivate anyone.
