HOW CAN YOU HELP A CHILD AND HIS/HER REJECTED PARENT?
Posted by Patricia Lessard at 11:31am FIRST WHAT NOT TO DO
* Do not ignore the problem-it will not go away.
* Never give up hope and never give up on your child.
HOW CAN YOU HELP A CHILD AND HIS/HER REJECTED PARENT?
If you are a teacher, counselor, coach, clergyman, parent of the child’s friend, friend or family member.
* Listen to the child, without negating what the child is saying,
regardless of how outlandish it may be (that is the child’s reality) and
then enoucrage the child to hear the rejected parent’s point of view
Appeal to the child’s maturity by saying that iss the way mature
people handle conflicts.
* Point out to the child how persuasive advertising can influence a
person’s thinking and try to relate that to the child’s thinking about
the rejected parent.
* Look for books or movies that can stimulate discussion about the
importance of two parents and the sadness of having only one parent.
* If appropriate, invite both the child and rejected parent to the same
function, making the child aware that the reject parent is valued
and appreciated.
* Look for opportunities to provide positive input about the targeted
parent.
FORWARD TO TEACHERS, COUNSELOR,S COACHES, CLERY, FRIEND’S PARENTS AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS, SO THEY CAN HELP.
WHAT CAN YOU DO IF YOUR CHILD IS BEING ALIENATED?
Posted by Patricia Lessard at 9:11am * Do not argue or get defensive with your child, it creates bad
feelings and is not likely to change his/her mind.
* Let your child know that you have a different understanding of
the situation and you would be willing to share your perspective
if and when the child is interested.
* Continue, in any possible way, to let the child know that
he/she is loved.
* Control your own anger and stay calom, even when hurt
or frustrated.
* Hold yourself to the highest possible standard of behavior
(d0o not give the alienating parent ammunition).
* Work on improving your own parenting skills.
* always call/pick up the child at scheduled times, and be there
even if you know the child won’t be available.
* Create positive experiences/memories with your child.
* Provide mental health treatment for yourself and your child
with professionals experienced with parental alienation.
* Build a support network with friends, family, community resources, and
support groups.
* Become educated and help others inv9olved with your child to learn
more about parental alienation.
* Attempt to work constructively with the other parent, either
directly or through mediation.
* Continue to attempt positive communication, on a regular
basis, even if the child rejects or ignores it.
