Parent Guide: The Basics

Erik’s Parent Success System is centered on 8 content pages that create the parent guides. You can start your journey on any page, but it pays to be logical and strategic.

Here’s how to be logical and strategic:

First, build a positive relationship. Make sure your child has some positive moments with you every day. There’s hard work ahead. You and your child need to know that you’re good together before you start the hard work of teaching, and before your child will accept the hard task of learning. A positive relationship makes teaching and learning possible. The Content Page on Positive Relationships will get you going.

Second, create Wellness: Teach your child to sleep well, eat well, and control their screen time. The content pages on Sleeping and Eating will help you teach your child these important skills. Special note: You are allowed to build a positive relationship with your self and create wellness for yourself before you build wellness for your child. Sometimes, that’s the most logical first or second step.

Third, create a schedule. Make sure your child has a privilege to look forward to every day. Once your child knows when privileges will occur, you can put jobs and rules into the schedule. The Content pages on Schedules and Rules will get you going.

Sound simple? It is.

Sound easy? Not always.
