Topics
Kirk Martin: 作为父母,我最大的敌人不是孩子、社会或学校,而是我自己的焦虑、控制欲和反应性。当我学会控制这些问题后,亲子间的权力斗争减少了,解决问题的效率提高了,人际关系也得到了改善。我发现,父母的焦虑会直接导致孩子们的反抗行为,因为他们反抗的不是父母的权威,而是父母传递出的焦虑情绪。例如,当我催促孩子快点时,他们反而会故意放慢速度,因为他们知道,无论他们做什么,都无法满足我焦虑的心情。因此,控制我自己的焦虑是改变孩子行为的关键。我接受自己的焦虑,而不是否认或为此感到内疚,并且通过每天花几分钟进行反思和积极的自我肯定来让自己平静下来。此外,体育锻炼和新鲜空气也对我非常有帮助。为了克服焦虑,我甚至会故意做一些与焦虑驱使我做的事情相反的事情,例如,在经济紧张时,我会给需要帮助的人一点钱,这能让我释放内心的压力,找回力量感。为了改变孩子们的行为,我开始有意识地减少唠叨和微观管理,转而关注和赞扬他们已经做得好的地方,用具体的赞扬来代替对他们未来的担忧。同时,我也经常告诉他们“我相信你有能力”,鼓励他们自己解决问题。此外,我还在生活中刻意练习不完美,例如,故意留下一些盘子不洗,或者写一些有划痕的便条,以此来告诉自己和家人,生活不必完美,重要的是享受当下。通过这些努力,我不仅减轻了自己的焦虑,也改善了与孩子之间的关系,帮助他们更好地成长。 Kirk Martin: 我曾经对儿子凯西沉迷于电子游戏感到非常沮丧,认为他将来一无是处。但我后来意识到,他在玩游戏时展现出了许多成功人士必备的品质,例如目标导向、有动力、有毅力等等。于是,我改变了对他的看法,开始赞赏他在游戏中的这些优点,并告诉他,我相信他将来一定能把这些品质运用到更有意义的事情上。我还告诉他,当他帮助别人时,他会表现出认真、专注、坚持和礼貌等优点。通过这种方式,我帮助他看到了自己的潜力,也为他创造了一个积极的未来愿景。我意识到,意志坚强的孩子通常不擅长孩子世界,但他们在成人世界中往往表现出色。因此,我开始让他们承担成人的工作,把他们放在他们能成功的环境中。这些改变不仅改善了我们之间的关系,也帮助凯西更好地发展了自己的才能和潜力。我深信,改变孩子行为的最快方法是首先控制我自己的行为。通过改变自己,我可以帮助孩子更好地成长,并创造一个更加和谐的家庭环境。
