Parenting

The one thing that i found interesting was when we talk about parenting and the decision tree was thing that stood out to me. In the decision tree we talked about who owned the problem, the parent, the teen/child, or did they share it. For the parents have to start with a polite request to the child which means that they ask the child nicely to do something, then they do a firm request to please do it now and the last request is an i message, this when they ask I was hoping you do this for me. For the teen or the child the first step in this tree is that they need to be coached into do something and then when they doing do it they have two type consequences which are natural and logic. The natural consequence when something happen by it self, the steps to this are that first its too dangerous, second is too in the future, third it ends effect somebody else. when the problem is shared they have to encourage  the each other to figure out the problem. Logical consequences are when the parents give the child a consequence for whatever they have done. I thought that this was very good thing because it helps parents  figure out to handle a child who needs those consequence
