sit with their kids and discuss matters calmly, ( wise – wisely – wisdom ) and respectfully allow them to
understand and learn in a nonjudgmental way. Make your expectations clear. If there is a problem,
describe it, express that you are ( unhappy – angry – pleased ) with what both of you are going through,
and invite your child to work on a solution with you. Be sure to include consequences. Make suggestions
and offer choices. Be open to your child's suggestions as well. Negotiate. Kids who participate
( in – on – at ) decisions are more motivated to carry them out. Kids' environments have an effect on their
behavior, so you might be able to change that behavior by changing the environment. If you find yourself
