The program is six months long and includes two weekly sessions. A PSB team conducts an assessment. PST staff have received extensive training in trauma focused treatment. They use structured observation as well as formal written measurements to collect a snapshot on a family’s functioning. The assessment is a stand-alone service or can be part of a comprehensive program.
Give your children security
Giving your children a sense of security is a key component of raising a happy, healthy child. A child who feels secure in their life is more likely to become a self-sufficient and emotionally healthy adult. There are many things you can do to provide that feeling for your kids as a parent. Below are three suggestions to increase your children's sense security.
First, make sure that you are consistent. Children may not respect your rules as much if you are inconsistent with them. To foster a sense of security in your child's life, consistency is important. You can make your children feel more secure if they are able to lock the door twice. Consistency will demonstrate that you care about your children. Being consistent with your parenting is a great way for children to see that you care, even if you don’t do much else.
Teach children to be positive about challenges
Parents must model positive attitudes. Your children will learn from you if they see difficulties as learning opportunities and growth. It helps children to see the positives in challenges rather than dwell on the negative. Here are some suggestions to help you show positive attitudes and keep your children focused on the goals you have for them. Your life should reflect a positive outlook.
Encourage children not to consider failures as failures but rather learning experiences. It is normal to fail, which helps children learn problem-solving skills. Talking to your children about failure is a great way of helping them learn from their mistakes. Encourage them to think positively about negative situations and focus on their strengths, not on their failures. Encourage them to look at their strengths, not on the difficulties they face, and to find a way to move forward.
Give them the tools to persevere and develop resilience
Children learn from adults. It's therefore important to instill valuable values such perseverance, resilience and grit. These values are vital for success, and resilience can help kids overcome obstacles and weather them. Inspiring children with stories of resilience and perseverance can help them develop these qualities. This article will talk about three ways to instill that trait in your child. Your child's resilience can be built by modeling the behavior you would like to see in others.
Resilience is the ability to keep trying, no matter what the obstacles may be. Resilience and perseverance are vital life skills that children can use to overcome difficulties, even when they fail. While some children are naturally resilient and persistent, others need to be taught these skills. Start by exposing your child to difficult situations. This will help develop their resilience skills and perseverance. Your child will be more self-confident and less likely to develop stress-related illnesses if you make this a part of your life.
Teach them how to negotiate and make compromises
Parents want their children to be able to work with others and to reach compromises. You may need to confront your child from time to time, but it is important that you are aware of their feelings. You will see their perspective and help them compromise. This attitude will allow them to be win-win - that is, they will find solutions that all parties can benefit from.
It is important to give children a voice when negotiating with them. This gives them a sense of control and makes it easier for them to take their own decisions. They also learn to respect their parents' authority. You are more likely to get them to do what you ask. Negotiating with children also helps them learn how they can make their own future decisions. Negotiating with children helps promote independence and reminds them that it is not about agreeing to unreasonable demands.

Is it better not to be strict?
It is important to be a strict parent. It is important that children learn to be responsible adults. However, discipline is necessary if children are not being consistent.
You must teach them how they should behave. You don’t want them to be wild or they could hurt another person.
You'll find it more difficult to be strict than to be permissive. They will rebel against you if you allow them too much freedom.
They will not learn how to behave if they are given too much freedom.
Although it is difficult to be a strict parent, I believe it is worth it.
How can I tell my child if he or she needs more discipline?
Different stages of development require different levels of discipline from children.
If your child is very young (under about two years old), then he/she may benefit from being spanked occasionally.
You may find that your older child needs more structure and guidance.
Before making major parenting changes, it is important to discuss any changes in the behavior of your child with your doctor.
Which parenting style is best?
Parents must make sure their children are happy, healthy, and well adjusted.
This is possible by instilling values early on. This means teaching them how respect authority, treat others and take responsibility for their actions.
As a result, they become responsible adults who are aware of their goals and can achieve them.
This means your child will be able cope with any problems they have at school or with their friends better than if they were not taught these things as a young age.
Is gentle parenting good?
It depends on what you mean by "good." If you mean how children are treated then yes. If you ask me if it's beneficial for them, then I would say yes. They require discipline and firmness from time to time. Otherwise, they'll never learn how to behave properly.
Rules and limits are essential for children. They will not know the difference between acceptable and unacceptable behavior without them. They won't know how to respect others and follow directions.
I don't know which parenting style is more effective. Each style is equally effective. It is important to find the best one for you, your family and yourself.
Is there a positive example of parenting?
Positive parenting teaches children how to behave by setting high standards for them and expecting them to live up to those expectations. It also involves showing love and affection towards them and helping them when they struggle.
Positive parenting teaches children to make decisions based on what is best for themselves rather than the easiest or most convenient. This helps children develop into independent adults who know what they want and don't just do whatever others tell them.
Positive parenting includes having fun together and encouraging children to have fun in their lives.
Children trust their parents when they see them as caring about them and treating them like people, not objects. They will be happier and healthier as a result.
