Story

Welcome to mariannevanoyenpsychologist.com & Calm Parenting

One afternoon, as I was driving my 3-year-old son and his little friend tucked into their respective car seats, I heard them getting testy. I began to feel nervous as I had to haul them to my chiropractic appointment. How was I going to manage two young boys without someone having a meltdown? Suddenly, I came up with a point system to help motivate my two passengers to cooperate and work for points. The proposal was met with enthusiasm. I felt a sense of calm pour over me as my participant's attitudes and behaviours shifted on a dime. The experiment worked beautifully and that's when The Points System was born and changed my parenting experience, and that of others, for the better!


What's inside: The Point System, Calm Down Toolkit, empathy responses, everyday strategies.
