Purpose: Re-establish Calm, Cooperation, Harmony<\/h1>\n

For everyone.<\/p>\n

Please go read this<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>this <\/span><\/a>(you’ll see how they align)<\/span><\/p>\n

In our house, we do not spank, nor do we incorporate isolation, refusal, ignoring, or “timeouts”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our daughter doesn’t just do whatever she wants either; when her preferences are damaging,\u00a0interfering, or otherwise not in her best interest, we intercept.<\/p>\n

If behaviors, attitudes, or actions become a concern, the first thing we use is assessment of why (what is the cause) they became a concern. \u00a0Then we employ understanding, followed by patience and compassion. \u00a0If necessary, we use a Hold Everything (this means the grownups too), and then we activate our resolution and\/or solution superpowers.<\/p>\n

I want to introduce you to what our house calls PAWS<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
