Are you making this critical parenting mistake?
Remove hovering, shaming, over-punishing, and taking responsibility for them on their behalf.
Lack of personal accountability will lead to:
1. Academic struggles
2. Low self-esteem
3. Relationship problems
4. Impaired executive functioning
5. Increased stress and anxiety
6. Long-term consequences into adulthood
7. Missed opportunities for personal growth
8. Strained parent-child relationship
To instill healthy accountability, you should:
1. Allow them to take responsibility for their mistakes.
2.Set clear expectations
3. Maintain consistent family routine
4. Be consistent when enforcing consequences
5. Focus on short-term punishments and short-term goals.
6. Provide a judgement-free and supportive environment.
7. Model accountability. Set the example.
