Parenting a child with extreme behaviors can be daunting. Bryan Post, as Founder and CEO of the Post Institute for Family-Centered Therapy based in Virginia Beach,VA, tackles the problem of parenting a child with extreme behaviors. Bryan has traveled all over the world providing consultation and treatment as a renowned clinician, lecturer, and author. He works with children, adults, and families who struggle with trauma from early life that effects their mind-body development.
Bryan believes that:
- Dynamics in the family play out in relationships in the greater world
- By improving family relationships, the world will become a better place to live
- The “old-school” method was based on causing fear in our children
- Parents should focus on the cause of the negative behavior, such as fear and stress
- Building a positive and secure atmosphere will eliminate the need for the antisocial behavior
- In a supportive atmosphere, the child will become emotionally strong
Bryan’s Method for Parents to Deal with Negative Behavior:
- Take 3-10 deep breaths before responding to negative behavior
- Tell yourself “My child is afraid right now.”
- Look at your child and put your hand on his or her shoulder
- Tell the child “You are going to be okay.”
- Walk away (this gives the child time to calm down and relax)
- After the child is calm, tell him “When you tell me a lie, it scares me. It makes me sad. It makes me feel like you don’t trust me. I need you to know that you are going to be okay.”
Bryan believes that parenting a child with extreme behaviors is a process. Parents can positively affect the outcome of a child emotionally by providing a secure environment where the negative behavior becomes unnecessary. This will result in a decrease in the anti-social behavior and help to produce a healthy adult. The emotionally stable adult will then bring this same healing quality to society at large.
