Parenting style matters - a lot!

Early intervention is always better than crisis management - but it is never too late to do the right thing.

Parents are the external regulator for kids who cannot regulate themselves.

Hurt people hurt people.

Children do not develop on their own - they only develop within relationships.

Criticism is not a motivator.

Relationships matter:  change comes through forming trusting relationships. People, not programs change people.

"Cutting" is a visible sign to the world that you are hurting.

The quickest way to change your child’s behaviour is to first change your own.

If there is no relationship - nothing else matters !

we teach.

If a child doesn’t know how to behave:

we punish.
