Take Me Back to Collaborative Parent

An Incomplete List of Things to Remember from Level 1 Groups

Below is a partial list of what participants in the Level 1 groups have said they would like to remember...

Things to remember:

• Kids do well if they can.
• Avoid problem solving during the Empathy step.
• Listen longer to discover my child’s real concerns.
• Empathy can pay off big. Practice empathy lots!
• Improvement comes in baby steps.
• Increased escalation leads to decreased IQ/ability to think and problem solve.
• If they can, they will.
• These are familiar events, sounds like my kid, other families are having the same issues!
• Allow the child to figure out and solve the problem so they can figure out problems in the future.
• Negative behaviors happen when the environment demands a skill my child is not good at. 
• Remember those lagging skills!
• Meltdowns are predictable (for the most part)!
• Solving problems is best when everybody is calm. Blowups result from unsolved problems.
• Emergency Plan B is better than Emergency Plan A.
• Proactive Plan B is easier and accomplishes more than Emergency Plan B.
• Plan C is not giving in! (Starting with Plan A and then backing down is giving in...)
