QUICK TIP #6: NEGOTIATING DISCIPLINE ISSUES
_
3️⃣ simple steps may help in negotiating many discipline issues:
_
1. 🤫 Lower the volume. Keeping our voices under control is a great way to deescalate a tense situation and prevent it from exploding.
_
2. 💁🏽‍♀️ Use “I” as opposed to “you” messages. Explaining what concerns you have about a particular behavior, as opposed to tossing accusations at your child, may allow for valuable discussion, clarification and understanding.
_
3. 📝 Set clear expectations. If your child knows and understands the ground rules, they are more likely to accept responsibility for their actions and seek to stay within the boundaries in the future.

💁🏽‍♀️ What ways do you practice healthy negotiations regarding discipline issues in your family?
