“Have kids”, they say. “It will be fun”, they say. I love my kids and do enjoy them. Like all parents, there are times when our children drive us crazy. Times when no matter what we try doesn’t seem to work. As Einstein said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” When we are parenting or working with people in general,, are we practicing insanity? Is our approach the right one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My youngest is a spitfire. She is determined, stubborn, intelligent, and emotions. (Sound like anyone, you know?). Her and I tick each other off and push each others buttons. What I’ve realized is yelling and getting mad doesn’t do anything. Taking things away, just gets her mad. What I’ve learned is I need to be quiet. Lower my voice, break down the choices she is making at her level, and just leaving the situation. This approach makes her mad, but she also calms down quicker and then we can talk rationally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does this seem familiar to you? Do you need to change your approach to those you are teaching, talking with, or living life with?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
