Unconditional Parenting
Raising children
Focus on bigger goals
from Unconditional Parenting: Moving from Rewards and Punishments to Love and Reason by Alfie Kohn
How to Apply This
- Determine your big parenting goals.
Write down what qualities and values you want your child to develop. For example, self-respect, fairness, kindness, self-discipline, love for others, etc. - Organize your behavior towards larger goals.
Every time you talk to or ask your child for something, you should ask yourself if your actions align with your parenting goals. Does how you treat your child now help them develop the qualities you want them to have, or do your actions put those goals away from them?
