A parent coach knowshow <strong>to</strong> spot and avoid an unnecessary or unwinnable fight,and it’s a great skill <strong>to</strong> have. An equally important skill isacknowledging that if it’s worth asking your child <strong>to</strong> dosomething, it’s worth making sure they do it.Often we’re unaware of the significant gap between whatwe ask for, and what we’re willing <strong>to</strong> put up with. If yourwords say, “Please pick up the blocks” but your actionssay, “You don’t really have <strong>to</strong>”, most children will choose<strong>to</strong> hear your actions. Bring words and actions in<strong>to</strong> line byinsisting, with kind authority, that the task is done. Thisis how our kids come <strong>to</strong> understand that we mean whatwe say.businessESDomestic BlissPEST control/fumigation.
