Parenting: Paving the Way for Kids to Change

A parent's attitude can help or hinder a child's motivation to change. Do you understand how your own attitude influences your child's efforts? Take our quiz and find out!

#1. When a parent gets frustrated with a child who's "stuck"  in negative behavior patterns, what's the first question he should ask himself?
A.) Does my child have a well-behaved, successful sibling or  friend I can encourage him to copy?
B.) Do I frequently display negative attitudes and actions  toward my child that discourage him?
C.) What's wrong with my child that makes him so stubborn and  unwilling to change?
 
#2. If your child with learning differences doesn't succeed with a strategy you've planned, it's important not to give in and change your expectations.
A.) True
B.) False
 
#3. When a child with learning differences works hard but doesn't improve in a certain area, the most helpful thing a parent can do is:
A.) Coach her to find a different approach that works for her.
B.) Encourage her to try harder.
C.) Penalize her consistently for several months until she's  motivated to change.
 
#4. If you think of a solution for your child's problem and it fails, you should immediately scrap the idea and consider a totally different approach.
A.) True.
B.) False.
 
#5. When an adult asks a child to help find solutions to her learning and behavior problems, the child will likely feel:
A.) Insecure. If the adults in her life don't have all the answers,  how can she depend on them?.
B.) Valued. Working out a solution with adults gives the child a  sense of ownership, which increases her self-esteem
C.) Over-burdened. She already struggles with a learning  difference; being asked to help solve her own problems is unfair.
