Welcome to the Kids Party Characters podcast hosted by the fun Mom CEO Cheryl Jacobs. This weekly podcast will be a breath of fresh air! With each episode, Cheryl shares the great benefits to allowing Kids Party Characters to make your child's next party amazing! Cheryl also shares information about becoming financially independent by opening your own children's entertainment business and working from home.
During this episode, Chery speaks on a difficult topic: motivating your child. Our host commiserates with trying to cause action in our children that does not involve friends, screens, or raiding the pantry for snacks. Do you feel naggy when trying to get your child to help around the house, do school work, or learn a new skill? What is the three-step formula and why does it work?
Three Step Formula:
- Set a goal
-
- Don't do it yourself
- Don't walk away hoping your child will do what you want/need
- Help problem solve
- Suggest different organization
- Give encouragement and guidance
- Celebrate even the smallest victories
- A child seeks your approval
- Reinforce positive outcomes
"There's no magic button."
"The key is rather simple. Show your child they are in control."
"Get in the habit of working with your child."
"Use age-appropriate consequences."
"You want this to be a positive experience, not one made of failure or tears."
"Let your child know you're in it with them."
"Pointing out their wins is a big deal!"
