5 WAYS THAT OK PARENT INCREASE VALUE +/- VALUES BACK

   

 PERMISSION - Examples and verbal encouragement to do new
 behaviors, use new thinking, explore feelings, experiment with
 new social situations and new people to safely explore the world
 and it’s challenges.

 POTENCY - Provide clarity of belief in values, concepts,
 personal and social rules, morals, ethics. Discussion and
 exploration of these issues OVER TIME. (see repetition)

 PROTECTION - Provide emotional support, set limits, explore
 boundaries with patience and understanding. Stand-up to others
 who are being abusive, discounting, demeaning.

 REASSURANCE - People need to know that they are “Doing
 OK” as they experiment, change, grow, and make mistakes --
 but continue to “Hang-In-There”. Reassurance is a wonderfully
 powerful skill. GLOW!!

 REPETITION - Recognize that “Once is not enough” when
 teaching other people about complex issues. Value formation
 requites talking about issues over time as people change / grow.
