The Three Choices of Life |
by Tom Copeland
Use The Three Choices of Life as a tool to resolve conflicts with parents
-
Choice One: I am happy. I can live with the way things are going now
-
Choice Two: I am not happy. What will make me happy? Tell parents that they must follow your rules or you will terminate them.
-
Choice Three: I quit. I am not happy and I can’t get parents to follow my rules
It is too stressful to try to terminate the parent so I am going out of business.
There are no other choices in life. It is not acceptable to complain about a problem with parents and yet be unwilling to do something about it. Providers should select a coach who will help them choose one of these three options.
