Parents sometimes find that their child is prone to use manipulative and controlling behaviors. Watch as Dr. Karyn Purvis and Michael Monroe offer insights to help parents better understand these behaviors and respond effectively.
As an parent of a child from a hard place, this concept was very hard for me to understand. I thank the heavens above I was directed to those that could help my child and us! I could shout from the rooftops so all parents, teachers, and anyone involved would try to open their minds and hearts to a different way of thinking. Thank you Ms. Karen Purvis for your work and dedication!!
Children who feel that they are not known to their parents will try lots of things to get on their parents’ radar. Their parents interpret this as a problem, but it is really the child just looking for a solution to get their own legitimate needs. And the whole thing goes on without either party realizing it.
What beautiful insight into the mind of children who have faced difficult environments and situations and how to ultimately connect with them and meet their needs.
The older you get, the more you realize that control has no function... I think. Life is always different than your wishes or wants. Why? Because every form of control is an illusion, and prison you. The best way to prevent this is to live in the here and now and accept we can't control.
