Taking Responsibility

 Have parents talk about the challenges they have providing discipline for
their kids on a daily basis.
What are some of the key trends?

 Kids aren’t listening – don’t respect that I will follow through with
consequences.
 Getting angry and getting violent or out of control.

 Kids think I’m too hard on them and hate me.
 My ex feels totally different about some issues, and the kids have totally
different rules there.
 I’m a single parent – I feel guilty I’m not spending more time with them, so

I tend to let things slide more than I should.
 Other people disagree with how I’m disciplining, so they do the opposite
with my kids, or interfere.

Review the slide and have parents identify what things in their day related
to discipline they can control, and what they can’t control on the Parenting
Worksheet. It’s all about learning to control what you can, and dealing with
the things you can’t.
