Help your child move beyond negative feelings.

Many adults tend to dismiss children's negative feelings. They respond to "I hate reading" with "Don't be silly." But acknowledging children's feelings can help them move on to finding solutions. Accept your child's feelings, even as you stop unacceptable behavior. "I know you're feeling frustrated by reading, but you need to keep trying." Then ask, "Why do you feel that way? What seems to be hard? What do you think might help?"
