ASK FOR HELP

by Jane Nelsen and Mary Nelsen Tamborski

Excerpt from the Positive Discipline Parenting Tools Book

A Positive Discipline Tool Card

Telling children they are capable is not effective. They must have experiences where they feel capable.

1. Children feel capable, belonging, and significance when they contribute.

2. Look for every opportunity to say, “I need your help.”

3. Be sure to let your children know how much you appreciate their help.
