Hi again class,
Sorry to send so many emails in the last 24 hrs. Here is another video describing the energy drain strategy. Please share with your spouse, with friends, with family....Stephanie, we will miss you tonight, but glad you are taking care of yourself and listening to your body. Please keep us updated regarding baby's arrival, which is scheduled for Friday. Julie, please rest and recover from your procedure. Best thing we can do for our kiddos is practice self-care, which both of you are doing. I encourage you to verbalize to your children that you are staying home to rejuvenate and heal, even though you would like to be out. It's modeling healthy choices and by saying out loud, we are teaching those around us! Michelle, notice how I mentioned your 'hangry' below? Thanks for sharing!!
See some of you this evening for our last session.

AndreaParentCoach@gmail.com sent you a video: "Dr. Charles Fay explains generic consequences" |  | | | | | | Have you ever found it difficult to come up with a logical consequence...even after giving yourself some time to think? Parenting becomes a lot less stressful...and a lot more Fun...when we can fall back on delaying consequences when things get tough. Especially if we and/or our kids are hungry, angry, lonely, tired or sick/stressed (HALTS). Just last week, one of my parenting class participants shared a good description of what it can look like when our kids are hungry = Hangry!!! Low blood sugar can cause anyone's mood, especially our little ones, and even ours, to become cranky or 'hangry.' Please watch this 4 min video to learn about the an effective tool, called the Energy Drain, which is perfect for an appropriate consequence when nothing else comes to mind. Listen to end of video for a funny story. | Dr. Charles Fay explains how to use generic consequences and the "Energy Drain" technique when a logical consequence is difficult to find.
