I hear you — I figure I gotta keep laughing, it’s what keeps me from cryin’ 🙂 — we’ve learned that when you take care of managing your approach to your kids, it really helps everyone. We have this model that we use, that comes from coaching, called the Impact Parenting Model — and it is a 6 step process that you can use to manage all kinds of conflicts and challenges. It starts with Taking Aim — and that’s a big piece. Start by identifying ONE thing that you’d like to see changed — and try to get as specific as possible. Doesn’t matter if its for you or your kids — but the more specific, the better. “Homework” or “Mornings” is too general — think about “getting started on Homework” or “getting out of bed in the mornings” — or “taking care of myself ” (radical, I know) — choose one place to start. Then, let em know how that goes and I’ll giv eyou the next step 🙂
