What Parents Are Saying
I want to express my gratitude for the Simply Parent guidelines I have learned and the benefits our family have experienced. My childhood was not the best, to say the least. As a result of having close to no structure throughout my growing up years, I've had to learn to parent my children from a hit and miss standpoint. My boys have had a lot of hostility towards each other, and when I learned of these thinking tools, I had an “Aha” moment.
While I was learning these guidelines, I realized I had a lot of work to do not just with my children, but on myself too. I needed to be more consistent, patient, and open minded to a more meaningful approach to discipline.
Using the tools at hand like the Landing Point and Perspective Marks the Spot have been amazing resources to get to the root of the problem. It's allowed me to help my children see why they feel the way they do, and realize they have control over the outcome of the situation and their reactions. Instead of immediately yelling at each other, they are able to talk through the situation and assess what could go differently. They are actually aware of how each other felt during the situation. The Safety Shield and Tuning In has helped us all begin to pause, breathe, and listen to each other rather than lash out with mean words. I'm very proud of the changes I've seen in them and myself. Thank you so much for allowing us the opportunity to use these tools in our family.

Hi Mrs. Gill. I wanted to say thank you for teaching social thinking guidelines and habits of mind in your classroom. I wanted to share about how you have influenced our family. Our son, Justin came home the other day and shared about the Landing Point thinking tool. He was so grateful as that thinking tool was what gave him the awareness and strength to say “no” when his friends pressured him to smoke marijuana with them on school grounds. As it turned out, they got caught and were suspended for three days. Justin was so glad he made a choice that ended in a way he was proud of. We were especially grateful that Justin had learned this thinking tool and took control of his personal landing point in this situation. Thank you again.

FAQs
Good question. As you read or listen to the book, you will begin practicing and implementing each thinking tool. As you continue to use them, the brain slowly brings these thinking tools to an automatic thinking response. Over time, these thinking tools become second nature as they merge together as a collective thought process. How long it takes to master these thinking tools will depend on how often they are utilized in your own thinking process. Teaching them to your children right along with you learning them is a great start.
Yes! When these critical thinking skills are modeled, encouraged, and taught from an early age, these thinking patterns become the neuropathways that automatically become their thinking pattern. For some children who are older, learning will take some practice and deliberate focus on making the initial changes, but over time, these thinking tools become the natural flow in thought and actions.
Book a call with me immediately. I will be happy to work with you personally. These skills may be different than what you know at the present time; but some changes are absolutely worth making if the end result brings more happiness, communication skills, and a peaceful homelife.
