Parenting

• The lack of professional knowledge about raising a child
• Children's difficulty expressing their feelings and controlling negative emotions
• The misrepresented word of parents. When parents say negative and critical words out of anger, children will take them seriously.

• Discovering and empathizing with children's feelings and expressing their emotions in a reasonable way.
• Actively teaching correct behaviors and heavily constraining bad behaviors.
• Guiding children to motivate and evaluate themselves positively.
• Allowing children to have a voice and a choice when limitations are set.

Acknowledging Kids' Feelings

• When facing emotional kids, the first step for parents is to express acceptance and empathy.
• Stopping kids' actions does not conflict with accepting their feelings

The Highest Level of Parenting

• Descriptive praise is more effective than evaluative praise
• Sum it up in a word to make kids feel fulfilled
• Turning mistakes into discoveries is a method of praising

When Having a Disagreement, Make It Win-Win

• Blame-free language makes kids more willing to cooperate
• More choices make it easier to persuade kids
• Parents also need to communicate their feelings to kids
