Be willing to compromise and negotiate with your children.

TIP 20-

Be willing to compromise and negotiate with your children.

If we are working with our children to gain cooperation there will be lots of compromise and negotiation along the way. No one likes being told “That’s the way it is because I said so”.

In a fair situation no one takes total control.

In great relationships there is always compromise and negotiation, whether it be between a child and parent, partners, friends or work colleagues.

By regularly discussing things with your child they will learn and understand there has to be give and take and mutual respect for each others ideas and thoughts.
As adults it is up to us to show our children and set the example. No one will complain about a fair and just negotiation or compromise and it is a much easier way to gain cooperation all round!
