Parent Skills Training is designed to help parents improve their communication skills, help children feel secure, and give them the ability to deal with difficult situations. It is a six-month program that includes twice-weekly sessions, a PSB assessment and six months of weekly sessions. PST staff have received extensive training in trauma focused treatment. They use structured observation as well as formal written measurements to collect a snapshot on a family’s functioning. You can either use the assessment as a standalone service or part of a complete program.
Give your children security
For a happy and healthy child, you must give them a sense of safety. A sense of security is a key component to raising happy, healthy children. Children who feel secure in their lives will be more self-sufficient and happier adults. There are many ways that you as a parent can give your children this feeling. Below are three suggestions to increase your children's sense security.
First, be consistent. Children may not respect your rules as much if you are inconsistent with them. Consistency is also important to foster an environment of security in your children. Children will feel safer if the lock is double-checked. This consistency will show them that you care about them. It doesn't matter if you do nothing else, consistency is a great way of showing your children you care.
Teach your children to look at challenges as opportunities for growth
Positive attitudes are important for parents. Children will pick up on yours when you are able to see challenges as opportunities for growth and learning. This allows them to see the good aspects of challenges, rather than worry about the bad. Here are some tips to help you model a positive attitude and keep kids focused on the goals you set for them. In your daily life, try to be positive.
Encourage children not to consider failures as failures but rather learning experiences. Children learn from failure and can see it as a part of their lives. Talking about failure with your children is a great way to help them understand what they can learn from their mistakes. Encourage them to think positively about negative situations and focus on their strengths, not on their failures. Encourage them to look at their strengths, not on the difficulties they face, and to find a way to move forward.
Help them develop resilience and perseverance
Children learn from their parents, so it is important to teach them valuable life skills like perseverance, resilience, grit, and teamwork. These values are critical for success in the future. Kids can overcome challenges and be resilient. To help children develop resilience and perseverance, it is important to share stories with them. This article will talk about three ways to instill that trait in your child. You can model the behavior you wish to see in your child to help them develop resilience.
Resilience refers to the ability to persevere despite any difficulties. Developing resilience and perseverance is a critical life skill that can help children overcome challenges, even when they fail. Although some children are naturally resilient or perseverant, most need support to learn these skills. Start by exposing your child to difficult situations. This will help develop their resilience skills and perseverance. By making this part of their lives, your child will have a higher level of self-esteem and less risk of developing stress-related diseases.
Teach them to negotiate and compromise
Your children should learn to negotiate and compromise as parents. Even though there will be times when you have to confront your children, it is important to listen to their feelings. This way, they will develop an understanding of other people's viewpoint and be more likely to compromise. This attitude will allow them to be win-win - that is, they will find solutions that all parties can benefit from.
It is important to give children a voice when negotiating with them. This allows them to feel they can take some control of their own actions. They learn to respect the authority of parents. They are more likely than others to believe that they are in charge of making decisions. Besides, negotiating with children helps them learn how to make their own decisions in the future. It helps them to be independent and not to give in to unreasonable demands.
