Positive Parenting | Teaching Kids Responsibility

Contrary to what our teenagers may think, we actually want them to have control of their lives! But how can we allow them to have control when we're not sure they're not mature enough to be entrusted with such a huge responsibility?

Stage 1 sounds like my ex husband - not joking but being absolutely serious

[myopinion]

Thanks for your video! I was raised way different it was a belt and control childhood. I definitely want something better for my child.

Owning up to mistakes and failures will teach your childrento be honest and admit their errorsto avoid blaming othersto avoid making excuses
to apologize, when appropriate

What are your thoughts on children’s nurseries at gyms and kids not wanting to be left in there? I have a 2 1/2-year-old who has been in there so many times yet she’s the only kid that ever screams and cries when I leave. I get on her level and I talk it through with her but I’m wondering why is she the only one that acts like this and what can I do to help her work through that?

[geesmomma]

I think my 7 year old is between stage 2 & 3... Like stage 3 once in a while like a few times a week at least & it BLOWS MY MIND TO NO END ! 💀💀💀💀

[mamathani-je]

My 4 year old is definitely between stage two and stage three. 50/50. Very little of stage 1.

How do I help an almost 13 year old boy move more into stage 2 please? 💞🌻

[chynar]

Another valuable information great video 🙏🙏👏🌷

[marthaq.bonilla]

Thank You! This is what I needed it. God Bless you. Parents should take child development classes before getting pregnant or while pregnant...before the baby arrives.
:) Thank U!

My retired teacher, grandmother friend has an adult adopted daughter, who keeps putting her parenting of her son and her boyfriends son off on her and the boys have serous issues, one 13 juvenile delinquency, and the other 11 verbally abusive, throwing furniture. So instead of parenting the boys, these parents got a puppy to try “to teach the boys responsibility” and put the care of the on the grandmother too. Any suggestions for her to help her find her ground and stand up for herself?

[jacqueb]

I can help my students but it seems like my boys just don’t like to listen to me. My boys don’t get in trouble outside of the home just in the home.

[SilverStruck]

This is a very useful and eye opening video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I clearly have a stage 1 Teen I want to get her to stage 2 asap!👍

[nanunanuu]

“And then they go home to they’re own 5 kids”🤣🤣😭💀

[MJ-ycbt]

What if a child from stage 3 goes to stage 1?

[Americamxo]

My 5 year old daughter is in stage one and my 7 year old sister is in stage 3 😂

[elizabethharvester]

Oh wow, these are great videos, Dr. Paul! I'm a newer parent who adopted a teenage boy with ADHD and ODD. I've been watching your vids to figure out how I can help him take more positive control over his life and not have to be consumed by worry over him. Thank you!

Love the video! What if it's my husband who sometimes acts like he's on Stage 1, yet I have very limited control over his behaviour? :) I know it is really inappropriate for me to think this but sometimes I do feel it. Any videos to help me to at least make my response more appropriate?
