- Let the child choose whenever possible.
- Look for compromises.
- Make more deposits than withdrawals.
- Magic “rule” 5 positive comments to every 1 negative.
- Difference between making a deposit and spoiling your child.
- Sideswipe instead of confront.
2. Respond to What is Beneath the Behavior

- Strategies for digging deeper into what is underneath the behavior.
3. Reexamine Your Expectations
- See your child for who she is.
4. Balancing Structure and Nurture
