How would your parenting style look if you were acting like a super nanny?

Successful parenting techniques usually involve the parents staying calm,

regardless of what their “sweetums” are doing.  They don’t get caught up

in the secret game we discussed a few blogs ago.  Nope.  They have this

amazing ability to walk away from their children when things are heating up.

 Remember, successful parents do not get into a conversation with their

children after they’ve asked them to do something or stop an activity.

What does this look like?  Let’s ay you’ve asked your son to do something

and he starts arguing.  You can simply say, “What did you hear me say?” 

If he continues to argue, restate, “What did you hear me say?”   Keep doing

 this until he tells you what you said.  Then praise the heck out of him for

being such a good listener!  The less you say the more power you maintain

in the parent-child relationship.  Successful parents are always the ones in

control of the house; not the children.
