A few months ago we talked about the website "I want you to love you", a space where parents can find reflections and experiences on positive parentality, education without violence and good treatment.
This is what we found in this video of Save the Children, the web's creative organization, once several positive parenting workshops have taken place in Spain. In it we know first hand the experiences in these meetings, and what concerns parents in the education (or health) of children.
It seems that (see that we insist) obedience is one of the issues that concerns us most parents of young children (and will continue to do so even teenagers ...). Other issues that appear on the list of parental "concerns" are tantrums and meals.
The interesting thing about these workshops is that they "work" in common, parents with children. The "work" is a saying, because seeing the images seems to have a great time: learning through the game is also important for the elderly.
Social skills, teamwork, active listening, negotiation, are some strategies that will help us in our day to day with our children, so that the relationship is more fluid and always with the basis of mutual respect and love that we have.
I would sum it up in two points: put yourself in the place of the other and communicate (listen-talk). When you are on the verge of shouting, stand fifteen seconds, put yourself in the place of the other and think about how you would resolve the conflict if you were with another adult. Look for other exits, give him imagination. Use laughter and play if necessary.
It is not always possible, but for those parents worried about the issue of tantrums or meals and sometimes get desperate, creating discomfort in the family (in themselves and in children) can be a help.
The excessive duties and the many hours at work that we spend with parents is one of the issues that prevent us from carrying out a more positive relationship.
It gives a lot to think about, and in the testimonies of the parents we see Another important concern: spending more time with children. The children's testimonies are also very interesting. I hope this video makes you reflect on the relationship with children and how to improve it.
