How to Talk to Your Kids Effectively About Things They Dont Like About You

How to Talk to Your Kids Effectively About Things They Don't Like About YouWe all have a non-argumentative style when talking to our kids, right? Our daughter would prefer to do things around the house and call me, rather than my husband. My husband would much rather talk to her, rather than me.Your non-argumentative style may be because of job responsibilities, religious convictions, etc. For example, I was in a church youth group at church about ten years ago. When I left, I knew that I had not been in the best relationship with one of the girls. So I went home and let it simmer.I finally realized that she wasn't happy, and it took a long time to get it out of me. But then she told me that she really wanted to be with me, so I felt relieved and realized that I needed to find a way to work on this. It turned out that she was not happy with me because I didn't understand her (and she could tell that I didn't), but as long as we were married, she would accept me.Then later, I discover ed that we had taken two days off of work because of the baby, and I decided to take a vacation with her to Maui. I also decided to go to a resort with some friends and took the baby to sit on my lap for the first time.I went to Maui to visit my friend and head out to the island. We all had fun and when I came back, I realized that she had apologized to me. It is easy to fix if you have a tendency to argue.You can set a rule that says that your child can take their toy from you, and you can say yes or no. If the baby was older, they could put on a toy, sit on your lap, or do whatever they wanted. If the baby is very young, they need to know that you are the boss, and you decide what is allowed and what is not.Keep in mind that children learn their ideas from their parents, so you may need to re-educate your kids with the idea that there are rules. Then you can adjust your rules to reflect what works for you and your family. If you disagree about what is appropriate, you can find way s to limit the situation that may work for you and your family.This is a good example of what makes a good non-argumentative style. Remember that even though you may agree with your spouse, your kids are going to need to adjust their opinions and relationships with you to match up with yours.
