Saving Sex Ed and an Overloaded Parent for 05/26/2018

Dear Family Coach: My school district has a sex education program that I don't care for. Parents have the option of signing their children out of the class. I opted out for my two older children. However, this year all of my younger child's friends are taking the class, and I'm receiving a lot of pressure for her to attend. I'm not sure I want my eighth-grader forced to endure several weeks of con

Quotes by Catherine Pearlman  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The trick with selective ignoring is that you are not really ignoring your child. You are simply actively not engaging. You hear and see what is happening, but you will not react. This means you cannot make angry faces or stare with enlarged eyes or make any sounds. You won’t threaten or provide consequences during this time. You will just go to a happy place in your mind and stay there for as long as it takes for the behavior to stop.”
Catherine Pearlman, Ignore It!: How Selectively Looking the Other Way Can Decrease Behavioral Problems and Increase Parenting Satisfaction

“Showing your child that you made a mistake—and you are willing to take responsibility for it—is incredibly important.”
Catherine Pearlman, Ignore It!: How Selectively Looking the Other Way Can Decrease Behavioral Problems and Increase Parenting Satisfaction

“Tips for Ignoring Effectively → Do not make eye contact with the child. → Turn your back if you need help initiating Ignore it!. → Look busy doing something else. → Leave the room only if you can hear the child from the new location. → Do not show annoyance by nonverbal cues. → Do not make sounds that show your frustration.”
