- Self-Control. Tools to manage your own feelings first so you can act effectively, and teach your child to do the same.
- Compassion. Strategies to meet your child where they are, not where you expect them to be.
- Collaboration. Learning to use a we attitude instead of a you should approach.
- Consistency. Tips to aim for steadiness, without expecting perfection from you or your child.
- Celebration. Reminders to recognize what is working, and providing on-going praise.
