Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I lay down a rule and my kids ignore it because it’s "my" rule they had no say in
• I tell my kid "good job" all day and it doesn’t seem to change anything
• Every time I put my foot down and insist, my kid blows up worse
• When my kid acts out I lose it
• I end up saying the same thing five times, louder each time, until I’m basically yelling before anything happens

Practices that may help

1. Use family meetings to solve problems together
   When children help solve the problem, they own the solution — and solutions they own, they actually follow.
   Positive Discipline (Jane Nelsen)
2. Use descriptive praise instead of generic approval
   Tell the child exactly what they did right so they know what to repeat.
   Triple P Parenting (Matthew Sanders)
3. Recognize when Plan A (unilateral imposition) makes things worse
   Adult-imposed solutions can win the battle and lose the war — notice when enforcement is escalating rather than solving.
   Collaborative Problem Solving (Ross Greene)
4. Refuse to energize negative behavior
   Give consequences briefly and blandly — no energy, no lecture, no drama.
   The Nurtured Heart Approach (Howard Glasser)
5. Give clear, calm, single instructions
   One specific direction at a time, calmly stated once, is more effective than repeated commands.
   Triple P Parenting (Matthew Sanders)
6. Take time for training — teach the skill, not just the rule
   Children misbehave partly because they don’t know how to do the right thing — teach the skill when everyone is calm.
   Positive Discipline (Jane Nelsen)
7. Use Plan B: the three-step collaborative conversation
   Empathize with the child’s concern, share yours, and invite them to solve it together.
   Collaborative Problem Solving (Ross Greene)
8. Evaluate solutions for durability: realistic, mutually satisfying, safe
   A collaborative solution that fails one of three tests — realistic, mutually satisfying, safe — will not hold.
   Collaborative Problem Solving (Ross Greene)
9. Buy back your time
   Spend money to outsource tasks you dislike, freeing hours for what matters.
   Time Affluence, Made Practical
10. Identify the lagging skill behind the behavior
    Name the cognitive skill the child is missing, not the behavior you want to stop.
    Collaborative Problem Solving (Ross Greene)
