CYBERBULLYING How You Can Take Control CYBERBULLY SURVEY Have you ever done the following? YES NO 1. Sent a mean, insulting, or threatening message. 2. Spread gossip, rumors, or lies about another student online. 3. Excluded others from an online group in order to hurt them. 4. Pretended to be someone else in order to get that person in trouble. 5. Sent or posted a photo or information that would be embarrassing to another. 6. Shared someone’s secret online. All of the above are examples of cyberbullying. If you have done any of these, think about how your actions may have affected others. It’s Time to Host a “YES” Day. Here’s How to Do It. No matter what kind of parent you are, we’re betting you find yourself saying the word “no” more often than you ever thought you would. Give that word, and yourself, a break by surprising the kids with a Yes Day. What is a Yes Day? It’s a day where your answer to your kids will alway s be, “yes.” Ice cream for breakfast? Yes. Wearing pajamas all day? Yep. Movie marathon? You got it. Before you decide this is a miserable idea, hear us out. With a few simple ground rules and a little prep, this day will become one that everyone in the family loves. Sounds like a kid’s dream, right? But guess what? Saying yes to your kids teaches you something, too. Parents who indulge in a Yes Day actually report a feeling of closeness and connectedness with their kids. And guess what that results in? Kids actually listening better. One mom discovered just how many times she automatically said no, to herself and her kid, when she didn’t really need to. Lay out the boundaries. The first thing to remind kids is that a Yes Day is one day, and the requests cannot be something that causes harm to themselves or anyone else. Second, you also get to ask the kids to do things: but your ground rules are that you shouldn’t ask them to do additional &ldqu o;boring” stuff beyond their normal chores, homework, etc. Ease into Yes Day by trying a Yes Morning or Yes Afternoon. Pick your day in advance to encourage kids to plan ahead. “Mom, can we have a jump rope competition? “ Save it for Yes Day? Besides, the anticipation is half the fun. The real golden rule? Don’t do it on a weekday, school day, workday. Cool Ideas for Your Yes Day ~ Consider a family game night, and get a new board game or two to have on hand. ~ Head to a local park where you swing with them on the swings, or play that endless game of tag. ~ Eat dessert before dinner. ~ Keep a bunch of crafting supplies on hand and be ready to create. ~ Do crazy, messy science experiments. ~ Build an epic fort. Remember, the key is for the kids to see you enjoying yourself doing the things that they value. Hearing no all the time can be a little defeating, for both you and them. Giving them authority for one day actually teaches them how to use it. Not only that, but also giving yourself permission to be relaxed and carefree one day a year prompts you to live in the moment, much like kids do everyday, and enjoy every minute. You’re making memories that will last a lifetime for both you and the kids, full of giggles and most importantly, time spent together. That’s definitely a win/win.

The more parents scold or reprimand, the more the bad behavior gets repeated. When they receive a lot of scolding, children start to internalize the belief that “I’m a bad child who misbehaves and gets scolded”. As such, they don’t feel motivated to correct their behavior, because it has already become a part of their identity. Effective parents understand that the better approach is to acknowledge or describe their children’s good behavior when they see it. You may have to go out of your way to do this, but you’ll soon observe your children’s behavior improving. Parenting skill #2: Teach your children to focus on the needs of others. Children find happiness through giving to others. In fact, children find greater happiness when they give to others sacrificially. These are interesting findings, because most of us are naturally self-centered. We look out for our own needs before the needs of others. But the research indicates that if we overcome our selfish nature and focus on the needs of others, we’ll be happier. If you want your children to lead joyful, fulfilling lives, teach them to serve others and contribute. Involve them in activities where they get to help others and make a positive impact. When your children think more in terms of contribution and less in terms of achievement, they’ll be on the path of building a meaningful life. Parenting skill #3: Don’t shout at your children. You’ve probably already told yourself that you shouldn& rsquo;t shout at your children. But when your children are driving you up the wall, it isn’t easy to stop yourself from yelling. The more you shout at your children, the more their behavior will worsen. Instead of trying to control your children’s behavior, understand their perspective and feelings. Then use logical reasoning to get through to them. If you have trouble controlling your anger, try these tips: • Make a firm decision that you won’t shout at your children unless it’s a matter of safety • Decide beforehand what you’ll do if you start to become angry • Walk away from the situation, if necessary • Take five deep breaths when you become agitated • Avoid using threats • Analyze the role you have to play in the conflict Think about what unmet needs your child has, so that you can get to the root of the issue, e.g. he might feel as if he has no control over his life, which explains his rebellious behavior.
