In order not to explode so often before the children, a mother from the USA has devised the Haarband method. The simple idea became a hit on the net.
The child's little brother. The child refuses to go. The child is dizzy. The child runs into the street without looking. The child throws with dishes, although it has already been said "a hundred times" that this is forbidden. Etc.
There are countless situations in the family day, which bring us to the rest. Especially if ten of them happen directly behind each other. Then he is simply by some, the mama-patience. And we roar.
You know that.
Actually, however, we would rather stay cool and patiently explain to the child what to do differently. For, basically , we know that children squeal very rarely, and that the reasons for defiance are often completely different .
But how do you get it to stay cool?
Shauna Harvey, a blogger and mother of a four-year-old child from the USA, has devised an interesting method to control herself and her anger: the Haarband method.
"Every morning after getting up, I take 5 hairballs across my wrist and wear them until I go to sleep.These 5 hairbars stand for the moments when you lose your patience or say something ugly to your child, every time that happens You have 5 positive things to do with your child (dancing together, singing a song, reading a book together, etc.) to get the hairbands back,
Shauna Harvey also explains how she came to this method.
"I've read about studies that you need five positive actions to get a positive relationship after a bad action."
The head hewn with rage on the wall
Shauna wants to go through the Haarband exchange until it becomes a daily routine. And she already has success:
"I've often been so incredibly angry, I've already banged my head against the wall, because I could not understand why my four-year-old is so disrespectful and never listens, I've often cried daily, and today I finished the day with all 5 Hairbands on the original wrist, I'm very proud of myself that I've improved my patience with him. "
To her surprise, Shauna's Haarband method became a hit in the net. Almost 12,000 Likes has their post on Facebook already.
