Behavioural approaches to parenting are sometimes viewed as lacking empathy or compassion, but that shouldn't be the case. Shape and Connect (Whittingham, 2015) is a behavioural model that ensures an empathetic and accepting response to child emotions. Emotions are understood as opportunities for the child to learn and for the parent and child to achieve greater connection within their relationship.

Very helpful x

Often when you ask a child to complete a task and they refuse to do it you might think they are being defiant or lazy. Children typically do not complete tasks because

1. The task is too difficult. They do not have the skills to complete it
2. The are not motivated to complete the task. They have the required skills but it requires too much effort and little payout for them.

Once you know the reason why they are avoiding the task you can then choose some of the simple strategies mentioned to get the job done.

Focus on small achievable steps to set your child up for success.
