Dear Lee,

Sounds like you have a lovely, lively little boy 🙂

It’s about you deciding on some simple rules and being confident about insisting on them.

Children are motivated towards something like a sticker, story, praise or your attention. So play with him, read stories to him and notice when he gets things right & tell him how pleased you are with him.

Make sure your body language is confident and your voice is assertive – make your voice go down, not up. So it is a command, not a plea!

I have 20 Quick Win Videos that I recorded last week for my Parenting Club Members with 20 positive parenting phrases that will help you – they are downloadable posters too.

There’s also my ‘Secret to Well Behaved Kids Webinar’ in the Club that you’d find helpful too.

Hi Jo,

I have the perfect solution for you!  Primary2Secondary offers courses for exactly this purpose!  The transition into Secondary School can be very stressful.  Not only for the child but for the parent too!

This course is vital to you especially as your son has experienced bullying and has difficulty with his confidence.  You can join the Facebook Group, which is a closed group for parents on the course, to share, encourage and get support from us as well as each other. (click on the picture)

Hope this helps,

Sue
