Parenting Toolkit: The Three Strikes Method

Parenting Toolkit: The Three Strikes Method

In my practice, I often coach parents about how to move from the punishment model, into creating reasonable consequences that positively shape their child’s behavior. One crucial tool in this toolkit is the three strikes method. Giving your child three strikes before enacting the consequence, provides your child the opportunity to reflect, reshape their behavior and redeem themselves.
