61. Giving our Kids SMALL Steps to BIG Results & Littles Who Don’t Listen

Practical Parenting Hint - EXPECTATIONS and STANDARDS are not the same thing.  Use expectations as a tool to move your child toward the fixed standard. Let's talk about it in episode 61, Giving Our Kids SMALL Steps to BIG Results.

"Small steps takes you a long way over time. In fact, there are  some things we accomplish in life that we would never be able to achieve except through little steps." 

" Every Child needs opportunities to 1. LEAD 2. FOLLOW. 3.  Be a TEAM PLAYER.  We don't have to choose leader OR follower for our children.  We don't have to choose leader OR follower for our child.  We want them to be great at both!  So, we should expect them to cooperate with good SOCIAL HABITS and humble obedience habits in addition to teaching them leadership skills, creativity, proactive problem-solving, and more."

We'll use an example of a three year old who isn't listening or obeying, but the principles can be applied with any age and most issues.
