Children are wonderful unique beings with their own individual set of
values, abilities, and strengths. When very young they are in the
process of developing those values, and require positive mentoring, as
well as the freedom and space to evolve. According to child
psychologist, Haim Ginott, =93Children are like wet cement. Whatever
falls on them makes an impression.=94 Within that freedom and space, it
is paramount to set-up boundaries and limits, and apply them
consistently.
When faced with challenging children behaviors, your love for your
child will get you through, as long as you have a viable game and
safety plan in place. The structure of this plan is paramount, but
within that structure there is plenty of room for innovation and
individualized implementation. Setting up a win-win scenario for all
parties involved will lead to creative and productive interactions.
