Parent Skills Training (PST) can help parents become better communicators, give their children a sense of security, and help them manage challenges positively. The program is six months long and includes two weekly sessions. A PSB team conducts an assessment. PST staff are trained in trauma-focused treatment. They use structured observation and formal writing measurements to capture a snapshot about a family's functioning. The assessment is a stand-alone service or can be part of a comprehensive program.
Give your kids a sense of security
A sense of security is key to raising happy and healthy children. Children who have a sense of security in their lives are more likely to grow up to be self-sufficient, emotionally healthy adults. As a parent, there are several ways you can provide this feeling for your children. Below I have listed three ways that you can help your children feel secure.
Be consistent. Children may not respect your rules as much if you are inconsistent with them. It is essential to be consistent in order to create a secure environment for your children. When you double-check the lock on the door, they'll feel safer. It will show your children that you care about them. Consistency is a wonderful way to show your kids that you care even if it's not the norm.
Teach your children to view challenges positively
Positive attitudes are important for parents. Children will pick up on yours when you are able to see challenges as opportunities for growth and learning. They will be able to see the positive side of every challenge and not worry about the negative. Here are some suggestions to help you show positive attitudes and keep your children focused on the goals you have for them. Your life should reflect a positive outlook.
Encourage children learn from their mistakes. Children can learn problem-solving skills from their failures. Talking to your children about failure is a great way of helping them learn from their mistakes. Encourage them to find positive ways to view negative situations, and to not focus on their mistakes. Help them to see their strengths and find a way forward if they are not able to overcome difficult situations.
They can be encouraged to have resilience and perseverance
Children learn from their parents, so it is important to teach them valuable life skills like perseverance, resilience, grit, and teamwork. These values are critical for success in the future. Kids can overcome challenges and be resilient. Children can be encouraged to show resilience and perseverance by sharing their stories. This article will talk about three ways to instill that trait in your child. The best way to build resilience in your child is to model the behavior that you would like to see in yourself.
Resilience means being able to try again, regardless of the difficulties. Resilience and perseverance are vital life skills that children can use to overcome difficulties, even when they fail. Although some children are naturally resilient and perseverant, many need help to cultivate these skills. To help your child develop resilience and perseverance, you can expose them to difficult situations. Your child will be more self-confident and less likely to develop stress-related illnesses if you make this a part of your life.
Teach them to negotiate, compromise
You want your kids to learn to negotiate and accept compromises as parents. It's okay to have to confront your child at times, but it is important to understand their feelings. They will be able to understand other people's views and more likely to compromise. They will also be more likely to have a win-win attitude, which means that they will seek out solutions that benefit everyone.
Negotiating with children is all about giving them a voice. They feel empowered and in control of their actions. They also learn respect for the authority of their parents. If they feel that they are the one making the decisions, they are more likely to obey you. Besides, negotiating with children helps them learn how to make their own decisions in the future. Not only does it encourage independence, but it also helps to remember to not give in or agree to unreasonable demands.
