All about The Think Space

Do you ever wonder what to do about the challenging behaviors of the children in your life?. . .

The Think Space is a plan to help children take responsibility for their own behavioral choices while offering adults a safe and responsible way to remove themselves from the emotional loop of misbehavior.

This technique is built on two primary premises:

1) Children repeat behaviors that work and discard behaviors that do not work, and
2) When you help children change the way they think, their behavior adjusts - naturally.

The Think Space uses a six-point procedure that quietly communicates several positive messages - from unconditional love to personal responsibility. While The Think Space is time-intensive at the beginning, the investment is well worth the effort. When applied correctly, The Think Space is both powerful and rewarding.

Sample Chapter from The Think Space

While waiting to be seated at a popular restaurant near our home, my wife and I noticed a young child, about three years old, making a fuss over something at a nearby table. The mother made one attempt to correct the situation. Seeing that her effort was being ignored, the mother did something that we had never seen a parent do in just that way.

Without any apparent emotion, she took the fussing child by the hand, walked right past us toward the entrance of the restaurant and stopped in the air lock between the inside and outside doors. With her back against the wall, she squatted down to the child's level, looked him in the eye and said something like, "We'll just stay here until you're finished with your fussing."
