Did you know that having a genuine connection with your child can be easy?
It doesn’t require planning, spending money to get into a movie, or setting aside a large chunk of your already busy day.
In fact, if you follow the lessons in the video and the 4 steps below, you can make the time you’re already spending with your child more meaningful for both of you.
This lesson is just 1 of over 40 videos from the Redirecting Children’s Behavior Online Course. In the course, Susie Walton (the great instructor in this video!) walks you through ways to identify why your child is misbehaving and ways to solve the need they are trying to show us. Before we opened up the course for you, we wanted to show you the value in our lessons.
The best part – you don’t have to use a GEM only for your kids! That’s right, husbands, wives, nieces, girlfriends, co-workers, friends, and any other person you interact with will feel more connected and valued by you if you use these techniques!
Sneak Peek Lesson from the Redirecting Children’s Behavior Online Course:
The Genuine Encounter Moment
The simplest form of a GEM has four parts:
- Totally focus on your child (stop everything else and quiet your mind)
- Give eye contact and a loving expression to engage
- Listen closely
- Be with them without judgment until the moment is complete.
There are no set rules for a genuine encounter moment. You can do them anywhere and any way. As a parent, you can try different ways to discover what the most effective genuine encounter moment is for your child. They are good for children of all ages, and most likely, what you do for your GEM will change with age.
When you begin a GEM, it is important to stop, look, and listen when your child approaches you. Also, keep in mind that GEMs can occur throughout the routines of your day and should not be taken for granted.
- A genuine encounter moment can be found in situations that are usually thought of as difficult.
- A genuine encounter moment is a proactive approach to eliminating negative and misguided behavior.
