It’s As Easy As Counting
THE 1-1 FAMILY “STOPWATCH” TECHNIQUE:
For every 1 second your child is not making good choices: You receive 1 minute of personal restoration time.
THE 1-1 FAMILY TECHNIQUES
1-1 Family starts with Counting Minutes (the 4 Techniques). When you count out each second that your child is not making good choices or breaking the boundaries you set for them, you are adding up minutes for yourself to rest and to be fully restored. And when you begin Claiming Minutes to be restored, you are enforcing relational consequences with your child and temporarily limiting their autonomy. You don't need to punish your child because 1-1 techniques will do the work. Your child will quickly learn that their autonomy (freedom) is directly tied to their ability to make good choices and not break the boundaries you set for them. As a result, your child quickly learns to make their own good choices, while your 1-1 relationship grows closer.
