父母超时:为什么要从孩子那里休息很重要

It’s quiet—too quiet. You peer around the corner into your living room and find your four-year-old making a beautiful mural … on your wall. He knew he was supposed to paint at the table, and yet here he is acting like Banksy. All this, and it’s only 8 a.m.

Tick, tick,Boom!go your emotions.

您热爱孩子的热情和创造力,但如果他们也没有具有挑战性,压倒性和沮丧的话,那就该死了。你想尖叫和大喊but is that the right reaction? Your child may need a timeout to learn his lesson, but could you benefit from a timeout too?

什么是妈妈/爸爸/父母超时?

当您的孩子表现不佳或无法控制自己的情绪时,超时使他们有机会冷静下来,重新调整和更清楚地思考。当面对自己的“大”情绪时,父母的超时也可以让您冷静下来并重新聚焦。

“Similar to a child’s timeout, a parental timeout allows separation from the frustrating cause (i.e., your child) and gives you the opportunity to process what happened and come back to the child or situation more clear-headed and in a more loving, supportive manner,” said Jerimya Fox, a licensed professional counselor and a doctor of behavioral health at横幅行为健康医院。“当我们能够控制自己的情绪时,我们是更好的父母。”

为什么父母超时很重要?

愤怒是一种普遍的情绪,但愤怒的爆发在改变行为方面无效。

福克斯博士说:“吓到孩子,不是在训练孩子。”“很可能会灌输您的孩子的恐惧,他们可能会很难处理自己的工作。更糟糕的是,如果您经常大喊大叫,您的孩子可能发展侵略性行为或对大喊大叫。他们甚至可能会感到不安全,并且很难学习自尊。”

凭借父母的超时,您将为自己提供时间来扩散内部可能构成的任何愤怒或挫败感。平静下来后,您准备解决情况。当您感觉自己失去控制时,它还为您的孩子建模如何分离并退后一步。

福克斯博士指出:“只有在试图在困扰或危险的时刻吸引孩子的注意力时,才应该大喊大叫。”“就像,当您的孩子即将遇到迎面而来的交通或即将从某物中掉下来时。”

那么,您怎么知道您是否需要暂停?如何做?福克斯博士分享了这四个技巧。

1. Identify triggers

福克斯博士说:“看看是什么触发了您对孩子的口头或情感反应。”“一旦您可以识别它们,就可以学习如何管理它们。”

一些您被触发的指标:

  • Your heart begins to race
  • You feel anger and/or frustration
  • You’re raising your voice
  • 您开始感到失控
  • You’re crying or visibly emotional
2. Give warnings

当您觉得自己失去耐心时,请警告孩子的挫败感。

3.休息一下

让他们知道您需要片刻,要去哪里,并且回来时,您将讨论这个问题。

福克斯博士说:“花几分钟,从情况或空间中脱离局势或空间,以对情绪进行更多的控制。”“您可以安静地去任何地方。深呼吸缓慢,减慢您的心律并放松身体的任何紧张感。”

Find an activity that is kid-free and allows you to focus on recharging. Listen to music, meditate, talk to someone or找到其他镇定和舒缓的东西

“For really young children who shouldn’t be left alone, it may mean asking a friend or loved one to step in while you take a moment for yourself,” Dr. Fox said. “Or you could put your little one in their crib or in their room where it’s safe.”

4.认识到您何时有过错并道歉

当您平静下来时,接近孩子并在他们的水平上聊天。而且,如果您确实发脾气,请与孩子开放并道歉。

“Apologize when you lose your temper,” Dr. Fox said. “Although we try to be good and solid parents, we aren’t perfect, and we can own our mistakes and apologize for that. An apology is something even a toddler can understand.”

底线:超时对您和您的孩子有好处

Not yelling can take some work—for some a lot of practice. But Dr. Fox said it’s an invaluable lesson for children to learn and recognize what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior.

他说:“它教会他们自律,限制和可接受的行为。”“他们需要成为情感成熟的成年人所需的一切。”

下次您抓住孩子做偷偷摸摸的事情或发现自己与孩子遇到另一个令人沮丧的情况时,在爆炸之前,请记住与孩子交谈是一个很好的起点。
