01. Observation
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:
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
Discipline & accountability
DISCIPLINE:
Must be age-appropriate and vary according to the circumstances;
SOFT DISCIPLINE COMMANDO PARENTING
(mainly based on “every  (“whatever it takes” mentality)
action has a consequence”)
(mainly based on “every  (“whatever it takes” mentality)
action has a consequence”)
ACCOUNTABILITY:
It is discipline applied to the entire “micro-society”, i.e. the family.
