MDPC/3EH #15 Here’s Dona’s First Try Success … VERSION 1

Dear Difference Maker,

The biggest mindset mistake I see adults make – where behavior that falls outside social norms is concerned – is that to “teach them a lesson they will never forget” you have to meet big behavior with equally big punishment (physically, mentally and/or emotionally).

Big reactions, punitive consequences and exclusion tactics are de-energizing to all parties involved. While you may get short term relief, chances are that you will have to do it all over again, sooner rather than later.

What if there were an simpler way that can turnaround problematic behavior?

A better way that is empowering, effective and still teaches a lesson that generates productive self-sustaining behavior?

Would you invest an hour of your time to learn how to tweak a few things?

TURN IT AROUND: Your response does not need to be big or hard. It just needs to be compassionately strategic and energetically connecting in order to get better results.
