13. How To Help Model EVERYTHING – words, actions, thoughts and reactions
Be verbally explicit – explain from a point of fact, not a point of emotion
Be human – explain why a behavior is upsetting (simple cause and effect)
Make connections – duh
Praise loudly, condemn quietly – we set the tone for others

14. Open the floor to discuss tough issues
Build them up honestly – kids know when you mean what you say…your words and actions must be transparent and true.
