discipline

Most people, regardless of their baseline level of self-control, can be taught to exercise greater control.

When something requires willpower, many children give up, get distracted, or refuse to do as they’re asked. New research suggests a fun way to help us get stuff done with our kids called the “Batman Effect”.

Ironically, it’s when we stop throwing our authority around and focus instead on building our relationship with our children that they begin to feel safe. We become trustworthy and our influence grows.

I asked, “How did Abbie feel when you did that?” Her reply: “Sad”. I asked, “What is the best way to help her feel good?”

Learning to ignore distraction and 'circle up' is essential to finding perspective and peace, and being able to focus on what is really important.
