01. Observation

  • What is the relationship between each family member —–> their dynamics and patterns?
  • What are the dynamics in the family (group dynamics)?
  • Spontaneous behaviour

    • Personality
    • Initiative
    • Intellect and curiosity to learn about life

    Reactive behaviour

    • Reaction to events/surroundings/people around/instructions
    • Instinctive reactions: noises, hot/cold, smells, stimuli (mostly physical)
    • Reaction to one-to-one dynamics as well as group dynamics
    $

    This leads to:

  • Identification of patterns: are they useful (functional) and healthy patterns, or are they ineffective (disfunctional) and unhealthy?
  • Encourage the healthy ones / Break up the unhealthy ones
  • 02. Love
  • What shape or form does it have for each adult of the family: what does it look like?
  • Where does love interconnect with discipline in daily life and activities?
  • Love

    (Healthy) love is the single most powerful and effective driving force for growth, development and happiness

    BUT it does not work without discipline:

    Like in a chemical reaction, where a reagent is added and binds to something and thus triggers a chain of chemical reactions, discipline must be added to love to produce a result.

    03. Intervention

    • Identify the dynamics in “Observation” and break them down/use them towards your goal 
    • Design your entire response, daily routine, activities and behaviours on the child’s specific spontaneous and reactive behaviours identified in “Observation” 
    • This will break the patterns which are not functional and enhance the useful/functional patterns 
    • “Mix the ingredients” to obtain the “chemical reaction” for your result: Love + discipline 
    L

    Love + Discipline

    • There must be a unified front from the adults about what “love” and “good” for the child is 
    • Where different “views” of love exist they should be unified and blended by evidence in sciences (Psychology, early childhood development, Medical Sciences) through the professional nanny
    • Once you have the unified front of love, establish:

    Discipline & accountability

    DISCIPLINE: 
    Must be age-appropriate and vary according to the circumstances;

    SOFT DISCIPLINE                                                                         COMMANDO PARENTING
    (mainly based on “every                                                          &nbsp(“whatever it takes” mentality)
    action has a consequence”)

    ACCOUNTABILITY:
    It is discipline applied to the entire “micro-society”, i.e. the family.
