Every problem is an opportunity to think a little deeper about the root cause of the behavior, Moore says. "What is the real problem? What is the character that needs to be instilled?" For example, Moore says parents are often simply conditioned to accept bad behavior in adolescence, instead of addressing the root character issues. "Challenge kids to get out of themselves," she adds. Diane Moore is a certified family life counselor and parent mentor with a private practice in Vancouver. Parent Talk is her radio talk show heard in Portland, Vancouver and Boise. Today’s tip comes from a conversation between Moore and one of the show’s callers. It has been edited for time.

Situation: This audio excerpt continues a conversation with the father of two sons. The older son has Down syndrome and the the younger son, a 2-year-old, is reluctant to play with him. Parent Talk Tip: Diane Moore reassures the father that kids don't innately know how to be a brother or a sister. She explains that a 2-year-old can be expected to be selfish. Sibling bonding is nurtured by parents when acts of selflessness are recognized. Diane Moore is a certified family life counselor and parent mentor with a private practice in Vancouver.

Situation: A father has found that his 2-year-old son doesn't want to play with his 4-year-old brother with Down syndrome. Parent Talk Tip: The character trait of tolerance helps children realize that everyone is at different stages of development. To develop tolerance, Diane Moore suggests the parent and younger son put together a “big brother bag” full of toys and games the boys can play with together. The bag can help the younger brother understand that his brother is different and has different needs.

Mom wants to know how to curb this behavior before it becomes dangerous. Parent Talk Tip: Diane Moore believes that the daughter doesn't fear the mother, which means she hasn't developed respect for the parent. Moore offers a radical option of watching the movie Taken with her daughter to show the dangers of having no fear. It's time the daughter learns the implications of her actions. Moore encourages the mom to just say, "I didn't think I had to watch you this much" and acknowledge that as a parent she may have given the child too much responsibility.

Situation: A 12-year-old girl is pet-sitting for a neighbor. Besides eating the neighbor’s food, she also made a mess in the neighbor’s home. When confronted, she lied to three different people. The caller asks for suggestions on how he should discipline his daughter. Parent Talk Tip: Diane Moore suggests that the 12-year-old has demonstrated her inability to handle the responsibility of a pet-sitting job. The parents needs to communicate with the daughter what they intend to do to keep her accountable. The parents can present the problem as a trust issue and let the 12-year-old figure out how to make it right with the neighbor.

Say “freeze!” for example, Situation:  Your kids are fighting and you don't want to nurture aggression or weakness.  How should you respond? Parent Talk Summary: Anytime you do something different with your kids, it gets their attention. Say “freeze!” for example, instead of “stop it.” Tell aggressor to “Hold it right there. You’re a very important part of this play.” Then go to the one that looks like they are being picked on and say “This doesn’t look like it’s working; surely there has got to be something you can do or say that will change this for you.” Don’t give the child ideas for a solution - instead make the child think of ways to solve the problem. Tip: Diane tells parents how to teach children how to fight by creating a play out of the fight and giving everyone a role.
