Part A
There are negative and positive forms of communication between children and parents. The two negative forms of communication are contempt and defensiveness. Contempt is a form of communication where parents roll eyes, insult, hostile humor, and sarcasm to show disrespect and disgust. Parents, at this level, never care about the emotions of their children. Parents should avoid this form when communicating with their children because it makes them feel humiliated, affecting their confidence and self-esteem. The long-term consequences of this communication are they develop fear and lack self-confidence. Parents should use reasoning and discussion when their children misbehave instead of contempt to get the desired behaviors. Defensiveness is a form of communication where parents never take responsibility and always lame their children, which escalates negativity. Parents should avoid defensiveness forms of communication because they need to teach their children to be responsible and face the consequences of their actions. Parents should have a conversation with their children and avoid blaming them.
Part 2
The two parenting strategies to pick from the webinar are proactive and positive. Parents should use a proactive approach to observe and meet their children’s needs and e positive about their children’s behaviors. I should be proactive and less reactive when dealing with children with temper. The children’s temper is a communication of some of the needs that are not satisfied. Talking to kids and stopping shouting will help the parent stop their children from talking back to them. The children will learn how to respect others and respect themselves. When dealing with whining children, I will pay attention to them and make them feel significant. When I find children who are not listening, I will be proactive and learn the cause of that behavior. Positive parenting is when parents avoid yelling and abusing their children and be proactive and learn what the cause of the behavior disorder in their children and e positive. The children need to get their power and attention from their parents and feel loved and significant. This will help the parent reduce their frustration and e connected with their children to promote desirable behaviors. Proactive and positive are positive parenting; proactive is where parents try to control the situation, stop responding negatively, and always be optimistic about their children’s behaviors. Parents should try to learn their children’s characters and behavior, and if their behavior is wrong, they should try to be optimistic about it and learn the cause.
