Great information thank you! I recently became a mum and I believe in positive parenting, these tips are very helpful

1. Remember, that your primary goals is to teach your children. 2. Align your expectations in reality. 3. Understand your child's learning style. 4. Take the time to meet your children when they are. 5. Talk to the part to the brain, what you actually listen (forehead). 6. You don't need to yell in order to learn. 7. Provide consequences. 8. Be consistent. 9. Use compassion. 10. Role model the type of self-discipline, that your child to have. Good luck everyone.

I watched this when my son was 6 mths old, and he is 4 now. This one video is responsible for how I have raised him and I am eternally grateful. People always ask how we have such an amazing child and I try to pass along these tips. I had to search and find the video again to be able to recommend it to friends (was not easy). We never have to yell or fight because we know how to do there things he teaches. Also, we use "Happy Choice vs. Sad Choice". Our son knows that each choice has consequences and the choice is his. He will "stop, think, and make the happy choice". Thank you Dr. Christian Conte! I'm so glad I found this again!

You don't need to yell to teach.
My mom: Who decided that?

Good advice my friend. I used to get the crap beaten out of me regularly by my mom. I have 2 kids of my own now and I have Never raised a hand to them. Unless it was a high 5.

This man is brilliant. What a shame that people don't do this. Being mindful is so important. My brother-in-law's wife always beats and screams at their children. The oldest is 11, and they all have severe behavior problems, are impolite, they laugh at other's misfortune and are very disrespectful children. I do not hit and try very hard to not scream at my three and a half year old. I always take the time to explain things to him and try to be as patient as possible. It's very easy to get caught up in anger, but having realistic expectations help. My child is kind and polite, helpful. Doesn't have tantrums, doesn't lash out. He and I talk through things, and I never have problems with him on picking up his toys, or putting away his belongings. Additionally, he's the first to volunteer to help others cook, clean, or pick up. T his is a wonderful video and I hope all parents struggling see it.

Agreed. I don't like yelling as well. It is actually quite stressful and draining my energy when i yell. But when the kids are noisy, i have to raise my voice to make myself heard. Actually, i don't like yelling. I force myself to yell.

I tried to give my 4 year old a choice... this is how it went

me: you want broccoli or green beans?
him: peanut butter and jelly

I really needed this. My oldest child is 8 and very well behaved from a young age. But my 3yr old is the total opposite and I've given up and started to yell. So I'm re-educating myself to be able to be a better parent and hopefully she will start to listen and follow instructions. Your video was very educational for me and I hope I can use these tips successfully with both my kids.

"I got hit as a kid, and I turned out fine!" Well, I got hit as a kid and I turned out emotionally unstable and mentally ill.

Gorgeous daughter, I can tell she really loves and respects you.

[crystalkittycat]

If only I had you as my dad or my parents acted like you, being beaten since I was 3 from my parents, this legit brought me to tears. I hope more parents take this approach.

I am a child development specialist, you did this very well. I like how succinct you did it. Good teaching tool without taking up a lot of time. Its hard to engage parents, but because these are short and too the point it works.

I have family members who yell and scream all day and spank their kids and it doesn't work because the children's behavior doesn't improve. I'm glad I came across this video. Maybe I could use this advice when I'm taking care of the children. Adjusting expectations for reality is very important. We often forget that children have thoughts and feelings just like us. Being consistent is also important. I think the children don't listen because their is no consistency. Yelling, screaming, and using foul language is not appropriate when dealing with children, especially those who don't listen.

I'm not a parent yet but watching this to be informed on how I should be approaching my inner child- and what type of parent I want to be. Namely the discipline and consistency, I want to have a well established system of self regulation. Thank you

I'm a mom of 4 children ranging from 13, 11, 5, 1 and I feel like most of the time my frustrations and anger are all going towards them and my husband, I recently realized that I need to change my ways, my attitude towards everyone I love, I just want to be a great mom and wife but don't know where to start. I cried today so much because I feel if I continue I will loose my family due to my ways, it's time for a change and I'm open and willing to try anything to help repair the damage before it's to late that's what led me to watching all these videos!!!😢😂

[charcymarie]

Is anyone else watching this after being beaten their entire lives just to see how other parents treat their kids?

[aslamartnet]

These are great tips. From my own teaching experience I can say that a teacher who shouts at their children has lost control and lost the children. Teachers should never shout at children unless it’s a matter of life and death. Children should not fear their teachers, they should respect them. Children need love and discipline in equal measure. I would add that being consistent isn’t possible, but one can use ‘flexible’ consistency, as every child is unique in their behaviour and circumstances. Thanks for the positive tips.

What an absolutely gorgeous child! I bet her mind is absolutely brilliant too. Thanks for the parenting support 👍
