Which you view your childs misbehavior

Reference no: EM133599886

Question: We're going to revisit the concept of "Chasing the Why" or trying to discover the underlying goal of your child's behavior. If you haven't done so already, take a few minutes to think about your own "Shark Music" - the filter through which you view your child's misbehavior that alters your perception. If you need to review this idea, it can be found starting on page 104.

One of the worst byproducts of shark music is the parental tendency to make assumptions about our kids' motivations, rather than seeing what's actually going on in the moment. We often immediately blame and criticize, rather than being curious and chasing the why. For this assignment, you are again going to open a document and make a table with 3 columns, but this time you will title them, "What Happened", "Assumption" and "Chase the Why".

In the first column, list at least three recent incidents with your child that you didn't like. Please make sure to provide specific information about the particular incident (don't just put "threw his plate" or "got mad at mom").

Next, fill in the middle column with assumptions you have made about your child. This is often the first thought that comes into your head and could be things like, "He's just doing it to be difficult," "He's too spoiled," or "He's the one that always breaks things."

Finally, look over the behavior examples you listed once again, but this time set your intention to "chase the why." Take the time to consider alternative reasons your child could have been behaving the way he was. This can be things like, "He's had a bad day at school," "He was overwhelmed," "He was jealous of his baby sister." You can look back at the four goals of misbehavior in the Connect section for further ideas.
