Resetting relationships - with ourselves, with our children, with anyone or anything - is a concept worth exploring and a technique worth learning. It's a simple, sure fire trick to regain and refocus our energy from negativity to positivity. That's what ENERGYPARENTS do with their challenging children: we reset them to their greatness. Resetting isn't just handy for parenting - it's for everybody.

Resets are a 180-degree about face from conventional parenting models that rely on shame, guilt, bribery, threats or punishment to control a child's behavior. Come to think of it, many of us use that same negative think speak on ourselves too, with the same puny results.

There is a better way. It starts with choosing to expend our energy building positive relationship through reflecting and supporting every choice and movement that a child makes in the right direction. Not with empty rah-rahs, but with specific facts that the child downloads into his or her growing portfolio of who they are. "I am a creative problem solver." "I am fearless in stating my needs." "I can express anger without hurting anybody." My dear friend Gary Gibson refers to these positive downloads as the child's "heartware" and "soulware."

Resets are simply a way to alert a child when they make a choice counter to their greatness. Reset works for adults too - and countries.

If all you've got to work with is outdated and ineffective "discipline" that doesn't fit your values, damages your relationships, and backfires with challenging children, then join me for a free teleseminar, "Reset to Greatness."
