Children crave cookies, devices, video games…. the list is endless.
But what do children crave that they don’t admit?
What is the thing they want and need?
Structure.
They WANT a structured environment.
They LIKE expectations.
They APPRECIATE predictability and consistency.
When children have strong structure, they feel less stressed and more confident.
A child likes to know what’s going to happen and when.
The best type of structure is what we’ll call “WARM STRUCTURE.”
WARM STRUCTURE is a predictable, consistent environment that is loving and nurturing.
It’s basically structure that is coming from a good place.
Parents can create a warm structure by being clear on the following:
1. THE EXPECTATIONS YOU HAVE
2. FOLLOWING THROUGH ON WHAT YOU SAY
3. LET YOUR CHILD KNOW THAT YOU ARE DOING THIS BECAUSE YOU LOVE YOUR CHILD AND WANT YOUR CHILD TO SUCCEED!
When good structure is coming from a place of goodness, your children will know you have their best interests in mind.
