1469 Bad Habits Can Be Broken

We talk a lot about breaking bad habits and making
systematic changes. But what about our children? Even their bad
habits can be broken. 


However, we as parents do not usually focus that much on their
habits. We see their habits more related to their "stages of
life".

Wouldn't that be fantastic if our bad habits were correlated to
the "stages of life"?


You may know some of them.


Terrible Two's

Puberty

Mid-life crisis

The Golden years



Regardless, as we grow up, we develop habits. Those continue to
grow too as we mature.


But not all habits are created equal.


In our household, having five children with five very distinct
personalities makes for an interesting habit basket.


One question that comes up often is, "How do I break my child of
bad habits? Won't they just grow out of them?"


Now technically, those are two questions. If you want to help
your child, you have to look beyond the habit.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Look beyond the habit!

As parents, we get emotionally-centered on what our child is
doing right and watching closely what they're doing wrong all the
while trying to raise the perfect child.


You and I both know that a perfect child is unheard of. But we
both know that our children are extra special, yet still, need us
to parent.


So what does it look like to look beyond the habit?
Understand the behavior -- Where is the coming
from? The root of the behavior. It might be related to a stage of
life. Then again, it might not be. Team Up -- Work
with your child to change the habit. If you make it an "I'm right,
you're wrong," creating a change is going to be challenging. You
don't need to add to the already tense situation. When you have
increased resistance, you have an increase in stress. And with
stress, you want to retreat. So team up! Create a positive
solution -- This is where you need to be specific with the
child. What you did for another child, may not work with this
child. Be child-specific!

Whether you are an adult creating change or a child who needs to
make a change, bad habits can be broken with consistency,
persistence, and lots of love!


You know how hard it is to break a habit for yourself. Be
considerate when helping your child. Be careful not to shame or
blame the child. That will push them further into a corner.


Love them where they're at!

Be consistent with the plan.

Empower them with direction.



No one has to feel tethered to a bad habit. Habits can be
changed.


You are doing an incredible job raising your child!
