Maybe she can figure out why she is so hard on herself, and learn just how much she needs to push herself, and when she can back off and just relax.Rholmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16563042593918868331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053729199420880645.post-21841126704916556672010-08-16T01:38:56.681-04:002010-08-16T01:38:56.681-04:00Elizabeth and I have been talking further about th...Elizabeth and I have been talking further about this tonight and she has written down some guidelines for her point system. She's MUCH harder on herself than I would be...lol. But, overall, it's interesting to see the thoughts she has about it...it has been very interesting...Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03309932952235453461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053729199420880645.post-40865653812783729182010-08-15T21:17:53.398-04:002010-08-15T21:17:53.398-04:00I don't think it will set up a different dynam...I don't think it will set up a different dynamic, but it will help teach the child some important lessons. Like management *how will I work everything into this system*, follow through *how will I ensure this system can be stuck with *, critcal thinking *how will this work, will this work, what needs to be changed*, and a chance to really see and understand herself on a deeper level. She will have to address the problems and come to you with a model that will help teach herself self-control. <br />Which is a great lesson to learn in her teens since she will be needing it for the rest of her life. She is at the perfect age to do this!Rholmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16563042593918868331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053729199420880645.post-51651395750673779152010-08-15T21:10:50.251-04:002010-08-15T21:10:50.251-04:00I have a friend who uses the "Positive Parent...I have a friend who uses the "Positive Parenting" materials and who is talking about being PP trainers. I can't see that her kids are, in any way, better behaved children than any other children. In fact, rather worse in some ways. That didn't stop me from getting some of the PP materials. If you can get past the "gee, aren't we entertaining and brilliant parents" part of the CDs that I got, I didn't really find anything there that appealed to me. <br />That's not to say that it won't help others, perhaps only that I've read extensively! lol<br />I'm *still* allowing my daughter to choose the token economy arrangement if she develops it, though! Does that set up a different dynamic, do you think, if the CHILD creates the system instead of the child?! LOLKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03309932952235453461noreply@blogger.com
