One of our important goals as parents is to help our children become independent individuals who will one day be able to function on their own without us.

By punishing a child, we actually deprive him of the very important inner process of facing his own misbehavior.

The problem with punishment is that it doesn’t work. Instead of the child feeling sorry for what he has done and thinking about how he can make amends, he becomes preoccupied with revenge fantasies.

Just having someone understands how much you want something makes reality easier to bear.

Often a sympathetic silence is all a child needs.

When upset or hurting, our children can help themselves if they have a listening ear and an empathic response.

The language of empathy does not come naturally to us. To become fluent in this new language of acceptance, we have to learn and practice its methods.
