"My child is totally this kid in the video. It's as if I am fussing at her
daily about the same things and I keep wondering "why doesn't she just get
it?". We as parents have to be patient with our kids and this was a great
reminder of that. I will strive harder to listen more and lecture less.
Thank you for this!!!!!

"This was very helpful. i'm always lecturing and never getting the results
I need. My daughter just looks at me like I have 3 heads. I have to learn
to be patient when I hear her speak. I have to keep my mouth shut, stop
correcting her when she uses the wrong words and really work hard that all
that. Thanks for this videos. They are much more helpful then just reading
words in a book.

"Wow! I really like this video. Although my son is in the 7th grade, it is
very helpful of how to communicate effectively to your children and to
have them listen to you. However, these tactics and strategies, you may
know, but not utilizing them at that moment. Thanks Great Schools for
these videos - they are very helpful tips!

"Great video, this matches exactly what happens almost every day with a 3rd
grader :) "

"I LOVE these little videos that Great Schools has started in their emails.
Though my daughter is beyond this age, still very helpful. Great to watch
a situation and assess it, even better than reading an article about the
situation.
Very Very helpful. Thanks a lot.

"I really like these short clips! They are right on target with what really
happens and to the point with a better way to respond. Thanks, it
definitely will be on the parent to find a more effective approach that
will work with each family.

"Wow!!! Can/t believe how helpful this video was. Often I get so wrapped up
in trying to be such a good parent that I forget how it is to be on the
other end of the equation. I think by listening more and making my child
feel like they have a bigger role in the conversation, it will help us
better communicate with each.

Good advice no matter how old the child or person is. Also, I noticed
when the mother was speaking to her friend, she mentioned how she "tuned
someone out," If the child hears this as mothers behavior, wouldn't the
child emulate that at some point and not think of it as "bad?"

"another answer, even better than " I could finish it in the car" would
have been....I could have started on this project sooner.....that is the
real answer...not to finish making a gift or card for a birthday party
while driving to the party....to me...this was not a very satisfactory
solution to this issue. I do agree with trying to see the scenarios from
everyone's point of view...I just think that an opportunity to teach a
very valuable lesson was lost....not procrastinating is a very very good
life lesson to learn.
