Won’t Wait Turn
The benefit of this bonding exercise is to help you find positives even when facing disruptive behavior, such as not waiting their turn. This is like changing the channel from a negative emotion to a positive emotion. By asking what you are grateful for in your child you will feel more positive, take a broader perspective and that can strengthen your bond to your child.
Question 1 of 5
In what situation is your child most impatient?
Why this matters
Focusing on a specific problem rather than a global issue can help reduce learned helplessness, which is a risk factor for depression. For instance, addressing a particular ADHD symptom can be more effective than trying to tackle ADHD as a whole. It may also be beneficial to target specific times of day or tasks that are most disruptive for your child.
