NO-DRAMA DISCIPLINE Instructions: Go to a place where you can observe parent and child interactions. Observe for 30 minutes total. As you are observing, pay attention to parent-child interactions over conflict situations. Observe whether parents respond to children's deregulation with limitless indulgence, by commanding and demanding, or by connecting and setting limits. If possible, include if the child displayed evidence of chaos, rigidity, or both. Mark each section with an X. Terms: Limitless Indulgence: give the child a sense of being entitled to their desires by consistently saying yes, allowing emotional explosions without interference. Commanding and Demanding: making threats, directing them from a distance without getting involved. Connection and Limits: listening and providing verbal and nonverbal empathy, and, once the child is calmed, redirecting to a more suitable behavior. Chaos: lack of control, overwhelming emotions (high anxiety, intense anger), tense muscles, rapid heartbeat and furrowed brow. Rigidity: no flexibility or adaptability, stubbornness, refusal to consider alternatives, can’t compromise or negotiate. PARENTAL RESPONSE CHILD DISPLAY OF Limitless Indulgence Commanding Demanding Connection and Limits Chaos Rigidity Both Observation 1 x x Observation 2 x x Observation 3 x Observation 4 x x Observation 5 x This is observed in the same day at the park, on one of the last warmer days in Rexburg. Location: A local park on a weekend afternoon Observation Time: 30 minutes Situation 1: A 5-year-old child wants to play on the swings, but there is a line. The child starts to whine and stomp their feet, expressing their impatience and frustration. The parent responds with limitless indulgence, saying, "Okay, we can go to the swings right now," giving in to the child's demands. The child exhibits chaos with heightened frustration and impatience.
Situation 2: At the park, a 7-year-old child is refusing to share their toys with another child, leading to a conflict. The parent, observing from a distance, steps in and demands, "You need to share your toys now!" without engaging in any discussion. The child displays rigidity, refusing to consider alternatives or negotiate. Situation 3: A 3-year-old child falls while running and starts crying. The parent immediately rushes over, provides verbal and nonverbal empathy, and comforts the child. Once the child is calmer, the parent encourages them to continue playing more carefully. The parent demonstrates a connection and limits approach, helping the child regulate their emotions. Situation 4: Two siblings, ages 8 and 10, are having a dispute over a game they're playing. The parent intervenes and tries to connect with both children by listening to their concerns and feelings. Once they are calmer, the parent redirects them to a compromise and suggests a new game that they both might enjoy. The children display rigidity initially but eventually agree to a compromise. Situation 5: A 6-year-old child wants to leave the park, but the parent wants to stay a little longer. The child starts to pout and express their desire to leave. The parent maintains their decision but explains it calmly, saying, "We can stay for a little while longer, and then we'll go." The child accepts the decision with minor disappointment, showing no signs of chaos or rigidity.
