FAML 160 Blog

  Faml blog#11   Today's blog is on some different versions of active parenting. Active parenting well allow us to spend more time addressing a child's needs and thus less time needed and dealing with misbehavior. All children have a desire for contact and belonging. Under contact, we have the offer freely a positive reinforcement, teach the child to contribute, choices and consequences, response and ability, assertiveness- forgiveness, and skill building. Some children use a mistaken approach to control others, have rebellion, sacred benge or have undue avoidance. One of the interesting   discussions was based upon the mass center in the brain will not develop if the child has inconsistent caregiving. A short discussion was held on why it's hard to teach forgiveness. Along with this is the overuse of the word sorry. This follows my own understanding and that it seems that people say I'm sorry when they have just met you or have no idea of what it really means
