Most children are experts in begging and negotiating.They can be relentless with their endurance to beg, tantrum or cry. Many times they ask or beg for something which is inappropriate for their age, so we respond with confidence. However, when the begging continued in this situation, one mom decided to give in to her daughter to teach her a lesson. Lessons are better learned by children when their parents know and do what is right. No matter how difficult, parents need to parent and protect their children. Even teenagers need strong parents who simply say “No.” Read about the history of Halloween, and how one mom wanted to scare her daughter to teach her a lesson in my syndicated article “Lessons for a happy or scary Halloween“.
Diana Boggia has a masters degree in education with licensure in preschool, elementary and special education. She taught children with multiple disabilities for 15 years and has been working with parents (families) with behavioral concerns for more than 23 years. She develops individualized strategies to build self esteem and diminish negative, attention-seeking behaviors for each child to be successful in achieving remarkable results. Throughout her work with parents Diana has developed a program that includes hands-on materials encompassing limit-setting, developing structure with schedules, teaching time management, increasing listening skills and parenting with incentives, rather than threats. These successful strategies have changed the dynamics of many families who were struggling with their child’s behaviors.
