What Can Parents Do If Time Outs Don’t Work?

The term "time out" is a sports term that coaches use when they want to give their team a chance to take a quick break, regroup, and return to play with a new attitude and new plan of attack. The same idea is behind using the term for disciplining a young child. Parents use a time out to force their child to get their emotions and thoughts back into balance before things get out of hand. The intended goal is to give children the opportunity to regulate their own behavior. Although time outs are often misused and misunderstood by parents, they can be an effective strategy for changing a child’s behavior if they are used correctly. But many parents don’t apply the principles correctly or consistently, and many children don’t respond even if they do.

If a child doesn’t stay put in time out, or insists on getting into a power struggle with a parent, then the time out becomes a joke that is easily dismissed by the child. Sitting in a chair for ten minutes doesn’t seem like discipline, particularly if they are still able to get attention from the parent by crying, arguing, or getting up and having to be put back in the chair repeatedly. For some children it becomes a challenge to see who wins the time out contest. For some parents, time out just doesn’t work, but there are other discipline strategies that might. Remember that the goal of discipline is to change a child’s behavior, not make him miserable. Choose a discipline technique that works best for the child’s temperament. Read more on disciplining your child.

Perhaps the most educational discipline strategy for a child of any age is to show them there are consequences for their actions. For instance, a parent can tell a child not to stray too far away from the playground or else they will leave the park. A child can be told not to throw a ball in the house, or else the ball will be taken away. Being sure that the punishment matches the crime will help a child connect inappropriate behavior to the consequences of that behavior, and teaches them responsibility for their actions. In order for this discipline strategy to work, the consequence must be explained ahead of time, to give the child ample warning. But if the child exhibits behavior you didn’t anticipate, then the consequence can’t be explained ahead of time so it should be enforced without a warning. For instance, if a child is knocking items of grocery store shelves, it does no good to say, "the next time you do that, you’re going in the shopping cart;" instead, put the child in the cart right away to tie the consequence to the behavior immediately. Read more on behaviour problems in children.

Another effective discipline is to punish a child by taking away privileges. Parents will have the most success with this approach if they first determine which privileges a child likes the most. The privilege may be watching a television show, staying up a little late, playing with a specific toy, spending time with friends, or going to a certain store or restaurant. If a child misbehaves, the privilege should be taken away right away. However, be careful not to take away too many privileges at once, and do not keep them away for too long. For smaller children it’s best to take away privileges for one day at a time instead of a week at a time. By keeping the punishment to one day at a time, the child is encouraged to choose good behavior every day. Also, it removes the temptation for parents to shorten a lengthy punishment.

Other effective discipline strategies include establishing warning systems, assessing monetary fines from a child’s allowance, giving a child additional chores around the house, or redirecting their energy from bad behaviors into good ones. No matter what type of discipline you choose, however, it is important to counter it with rewarding the child for good behavior. If you establish clear rules about certain types of behavior and you see that a child is following the rules, you can let them choose their own reward or choose a reward that you know they will enjoy, such as a toy, stickers, money, new clothes, or whatever will mean something to the child. Be sure the reward is appropriate to the child’s age and temperament.

The ultimate goal of any type of discipline for children is to bring misbehavior to a screeching halt and make the child realize that the behavior needs to change. Corporal punishment can be effective and even necessary in a few situations, but for the most part, low-key punishment techniques such as these outlined above are exactly what the doctor ordered for helping a child learn how to behave.

How to Choose a Career

Choosing a career can be quite a challenge, not only for high school graduates, but also for people who are in the midst of a career change that is most likely ushered in by the dissatisfaction that people experience when life assumes the dull pace of routine existence. While fresh graduates are eager to discover new career pathways, people who are thinking in terms of a second career may be constrained on account of age that does not necessarily hamper the ability to adapt to a different environment and learn new skills but tends to make people somewhat comfortable with their knowledge base thus reinforcing the selection of a career path that may channel their life in the very direction that they hope to avoid. One may read on for further elucidation on how to choose a career.

How to Choose the Right Career?

Introspection should be the first step while trying to choose a career since it may help one understand the driving force, the motivation behind one's desire to work. The Expectancy Theory of Motivation lays a great deal of emphasis on the perceived level of satisfaction, the confidence to achieve and the rewards that one hopes to receive on achieving the set goals. The perceived level of satisfaction, that one hopes to achieve, propels one to pursue tasks that may seem unconquerable. A person in pursuit of material comforts would do well to pursue career opportunities that have a great earning potential. Someone with a desire for working towards the betterment of humanity, may choose a vocation in the realm of social work. Such a person may benefit by becoming a teacher, a nurse or a doctor who voluntarily chooses to serve in underserved areas in a quest for satisfaction. Of course, a career, that ensures the promotion of poorer sections of society, will not satisfy the inherent desire for luxuries that instigates some people to deliver their best. Hence, developing a clear understanding of one's heartfelt desires will help put one on the right career track. This is especially true for people, in their quest for a second career, since dissatisfaction with their current state of affairs was instrumental in forcing them to opt for a career change.

Ability to accomplish set goals is a function of aptitude and interest. After determining one's area of interest, it would be prudent to evaluate one's aptitude for the proposed area of study and work. Career education training programs may provide valuable guidance. Consulting a career advisor may be helpful since a career advisor can suggest a few tests that could match desires and interests with possible career choices. Aptitude tests can help one evaluate the prudence of pursuing the chosen line of study. In addition to aptitude tests, a career counselor can also administer psychometric tests that help us understand our perception of the world and the decisions that we make, based on our view of the world.

Hopefully, this article would have provided some insight on how to choose a career. Ultimately, one's ability to excel in the chosen area of work, is contingent to having a good skill set, innate or acquired and an aptitude for hard work. A positive attitude coupled with the desire and the ability to deliver the best will ensure success in all undertakings.

5 Basic Skills for Career Success

For ongoing career success here are 5 basic skills that will propel you to career advancement and success.

What are the key factors that recruiters and employers are looking for in potential employees? How does the interviewer separate the applicant with five years experience from the applicant with one months experience sixty times? In addition, for each position the employer may be looking for different specific career skills and experience.

There are however, similar skill sets and attitudes that employers look for in all applicants from engineer to janitor. What skills are continually in demand?

1. Bedrock Basic Career Skills

Simply put: basic educational skills learned by the end of junior high school. How well does the applicant read, write and do basic math? For example, a few years ago an automobile manufacturer was planning to add over 1000 new employees to a large assembly plant. Slightly over 20,000 applied for the well paying jobs. All the applicants were high school graduates and ranged in age from 18 to 67, with the bulk of the applicants between ages 25 to 45.

In the selection process all the applicants were required to take a series of paper and pencil tests. Tests built so an average high school freshman should easily pass. The tests were designed to determine basic reading, writing (comprehension) and analytical (math, reading simple charts and forms) skills. The series of tests took about four hours to complete. Slightly over 50% failed these basic skill tests.

This is a sad commentary on the erosion of basic skills after high school.

Move the skills up a notch to include basic keyboarding skills, basic computer knowledge and other modern tools: fax, copy machine, basic work processing and you have the bedrock basic skills required for success in almost any employment situation.

2. Team and Interpersonal Skills

How well does the applicant speak? Do they answer questions in a positive manner? Do they get to the point? Can they demonstrate good customer service skills? Although not everyone needs to be outgoing can the applicant communicate well with coworkers, other team members, management and customers? Working well with others is a critical skill for job success.

3. Ongoing Job Search Achievement

A successful job search is a process that requires a high level of dedication. If you’re waiting for your ship to come in after only sending out two applications in two months your chances of success is severely diminished compared to the applicant who sends out 2, 5 and even 10 applications a day. Employers are seeking employees who are positive and show enthusiasm and knowledge of the industry and companies they approach. You will be evaluated, positively or negatively, on how you are approaching the job search. Even with fewer skills, with this positive approach, you have a better chance in getting the job over a lackluster candidate with better skills.

This approach is equally applicable for new positions or internal moves or promotions at your present place of employment.

4. Job Performance

Employers are constantly adding and subtracting employees and operations depending upon the marketplace. A safe job today may be axed six months from now. How do you manage to somewhat insulate yourself from these fluctuations?

Beyond the numbers, it all comes down to performance. By demonstrating your worth, taken the initiative and otherwise developed into a valuable employee you have less chance of being downsized than those will average performance. This superior performance will also lead to other successes as you move up the career ladder.

5. Career and Job Development

Start with career development. This is a planning skill. Setting career goals both short and long term and reaching them will be of great assistance in climbing your career ladder. A key ingredient to career development is learning new skills, updating established skills and applying new concepts.

This is accomplished by job or professional development in taking classes, self-study programs, attending seminars and otherwise being open to new opportunities to grow your career. This is only done if you are committed to be a lifelong student. People who demonstrate this trait are keeping themselves marketable as employers are always looking for people who have the up to date training and skills to handle new challenges.

Where do you fit? Need help in polishing up you writing skills? Having a problem conducting meetings or making presentations? Haven’t done as assessment on your career progress for some time? Read any good books lately?

All require taking the first step. Commit not to "rust out" like many of the applicants were apparently doing who applied for the assembly line jobs. Better to be in the "wear out" category, with the life long learning process supplying the lubricant to keep everything humming and really never wearing out.

How to Know if You Are in the Right Career

Ever wonder if you are in the right career? If you are like most people you have. Did you know that 80% of people are currently misemployed? They are either underemployed, not happy with their current position or not fairly compensated for their skill and/or function set. If so many people are misemployed, why do they stay in their current situation? Why do they not take the necessary steps to move into something that will be fulfilling and something they can look forward to doing every day - a situation they can truly be proud of?

The following are some of the most common reasons:

• Complacency

• Fear of the unknown

• Fear of change

• Not knowing what their options are

• Don’t want to give up the familiar, no matter how uncomfortable the familiar is

• Staying within their comfort zone

• No time to search for something new

• They just don’t know how to make a change

• Fear of failure

• Fear of success (they may actually get what they dreamed of)

• They fear the job search is more frustrating than their current unsatisfactory job

• Not knowing where to begin

How often have we heard others give these reasons for not moving out of an unpleasant situation? How often have we said this to ourselves if we are actually misemployed? Imagine looking back over your life and saying, "I wish I would have done it differently."

So often in life, it is not what we do that we regret, rather what we don’t do that we regret the most. Things like not making a change when we knew a change was in order, or not taking the appropriate steps to move into a situation that would lend itself to a more fulfilling life both personally and professionally.

If you or anyone you know are looking to make a career change, the following steps will help to make a smoother transition and find the courage to make that shift:

1. Evaluate your current situation

2. Decide you are ready to change

3. Give yourself a timeframe for making the change

4. Get excited about the change

5. Become enlightened about your own values and realize you are worth a great situation

6. Decide what kind of career would truly make you happy

7. Determine what would bring you fulfillment

8. Believe you deserve it

9. Be willing to put time and effort into you transition

10. Have a plan of action

11. Take action on a daily basis

12. Consult with people who have been successful in their own career shift

13. Be willing to invest in yourself

14. Work with a coach to keep you motivated

15. Go after what you want

Most of all - be willing to acknowledge that life is not a dress rehearsal, this is the real thing. When you look back over your life are you going to wish you had it to do all over and you had taken risks to move you into situation that would bring a deep level of satisfaction to you and your loved ones? The reality is that when we are in a career that brings us a deep sense of satisfaction, all those around us benefit from the fact that we are more fully present in life rather than constantly talking about wishing things would change. The truly successful people in life are the ones who are willing to create their happiness on a daily basis with the minute-by-minute actions they take and the thoughts they entertain.

How to Find a Career that FITS

According to Forbes.com++, some surveys have found that 87% of Americans don't like their jobs. This probably isn’t surprising to you. Whether you're at a party or out to dinner... more often than not, it's one big gripe-fest, focused around the most loathed aspects of your jobs and "who's got it the worst at work."

Work is a big part of life so it comes up naturally in conversation. I find we often complain about our jobs instead of singing our boss’s praises or something along those lines--right?! There’s something about commiserating over the daily toil and all the hardships we endure, that connects us and makes us feel like we are all in the same boat.

But what if we connected over how much we enjoyed our jobs instead? What would that be like?

As a certified career coach, that is my mission: to change the way people feel about work; from seeing it as just a paycheck to having it be a fulfilling, rewarding endeavor that is an extension of their purpose and passion. That’s what this article is about: Finding a Career that FITS.

So let’s get started, to help you begin this process of finding a career you are passionate about...

First, take a deep breath. (That’s right, I’m serious!) Right now, take in a long, deep breath to take some pressure off this process. I know what happens when I am tense and tight - nothing flows. When you're tight, your thoughts tend to be restrictive, limited and self-defeating. So release some of this tension if you have it, and commit to allowing the process to flow. Breathe deeply and easily. Permit your mind to consider new possibilities.

Because our jobs are vitally important to us, we tend to take this so seriously that we can end up becoming totally stressed out. Remember: there are unlimited options out there, and income can be achieved in so many creative and fulfilling ways!

So breathe, and realize that you can do and be anything. As you feel yourself letting go of that nervous, negative energy, allow your mind to open up to new alternatives. Acknowledge your career situation; how did you get where you are today? Is it possible to recreate that process and go in an entirely new direction for yourself, your life? Of course it is. You did it before. You can do it again!

Once you're aligned with the possibilities, trust that you will figure this out and believe in yourself. You can find a career you truly enjoy. I’ve helped many people do it and I’ve done it myself. I have faith that you can do the same!

What are some ways you can remind yourself to believe and trust in your own abilities? Remember that people are relying on you this very minute. You have earned trust at your place of employment. The very job that YOU perform each day, helps one company bring in thousands, maybe millions or billions. That is no small feat, by any means!

Give yourself credit for what you currently do that people rely on you for. Do you pay a mortgage each month? Has the state entrusted you with a driver's license? If other people have faith in you, isn't it time you trusted yourself? Who better than you knows what YOU excel at, and what type of career you're ideally suited for? Have faith in the choices you make. YOU can do it, YOUR way!

Next, realize this is a process. Because you're probably relying on your current job to support yourself, you can make the move gradually if you need to. Because you're learning, the course of your path may change along the way. You’ll figure it out.

The process of reinventing yourself can take some time. Career transition involves careful planning, and outlining of steps and procedures. Set goals that are realistic yet also a stretch, so that you can step out of your comfort zone and set yourself up for success. Take time to consider the most important questions:

** What do you enjoy most about the work you do now?

** What are your greatest strengths?

** What areas would you prefer to steer clear of in the future?

** Who are the key people and resources you'll need to help make your dream career manifest itself?

** What about finances - will you be borrowing money, or dipping into your savings as a way to get the plan off the ground?

** How can you manage your expenses to successfully make the transition without hurting your bank account?

If you're starting to feel overwhelmed, not to worry. There are qualified professionals who can help you "get to know yourself all over again," make the best choices, and prevent you from making any hasty moves in your career that you may regret later. As a certified career coach who has helped countless individuals discover the profession that's a perfect fit for them, I can help you make a positive career change, one step at a time.

Because this is a process that usually takes time, I encourage you to start now. Take action while you are feeling more stable, and not reckless or impulsive. If you already are really unhappy and on the verge of desperation, that’s okay too, but there are things you can do right now to help yourself feel better and remain on steady ground with respect to your career. If you’re reading this article, you’re taking the first step... so pat yourself on the back!

One of the things I see people do is take a job that meets some of their needs, but not all of them. You need to consider all of the components to a satisfying career.

If you're serious about making a career change, you'll need to create a transition plan and set intermediate goals for steps you need to take along the way. In another upcoming NCMA article, I will address this further. For now, know that you need to create a plan, and mentally prepare yourself. Here are four preliminary actions you can take immediately:

1. Commit yourself. How committed are you to finding a career that fits, on a scale from 1-10? If it’s not at a 10, what do you need to do to move it up the scale?

2. Learn to overcome obstacles. Obstacle 1: not knowing what to look for in a job (so you take one that is "good enough" that you don’t truly enjoy). Obstacle 2: your own disempowering beliefs. Are you ready to move past/blow through these obstacles? I have faith that you can do it!

3. Get support. I’m being totally honest when I say: it really helps to have the support of group or a career counselor to remind you to stay positive and focused. My contact information is below if you’d like more information from me.

4. Claim your life. There never is a perfect time to do this and you can always come up with excuses/reasons not to. The key is to minimize the risks by getting the support you need.

I myself was able to very successfully make my career transition in large part because of my own coach. She helped me create my plan, remain positive, move forward, identify what I wanted to do, and overcome obstacles. You can do this, too. I encourage you to take a stand for your life and what you want!

Isn't it time you found a career that fits?

Support During Career Transition: Keeping Upbeat and Focused

Do you sometimes find that as soon as you take that leap and decide to make a positive career change, you’re met with criticism and resistance from those around you? They tell you why it’s a bad idea and try to persuade you not to follow your dream.

Luckily, it only seems that way. One of the biggest challenges that many people in career transition face is trying to convince their families, friends, coworkers and the people who know them best that change is a good thing. At a time when everything is in flux, it's tough for us to reassure people we are headed on the path to success despite any obstacles which may surface along the way. We may even be uncertain ourselves! And because we frequently experience the most resistance to our ideas from the people who mean the most to us, it can FEEL like our core support system is caving in. But don't worry, I assure you it's not!

As a certified career coach who has helped many people overcome obstacles and who has paved the way for my own career, I make sure my clients know where to find the best type of career support, at the time when they need it most. Here are five sources where you can seek out guidance, education -- even commiseration!-- during your career transition period.

1. Career networking - both online and in person.

There are tons of career-focused networks and resources on the internet and in your local area. To locate them online, do a Google search. Check out your home town paper to find out where the best career focused communities are hiding. Go out and mingle with like-minded professionals who are seeking a change in their own careers or who are currently in the career you want to pursue. Participate in workshops, contact your college alumni office or attend a networking event. The information is there for the taking, all you have to do is seek and you shall find.

2. Individual career coaching.

On my site, HallieCrawford.com, I offer what is known as Co-Active Coaching - a style of coaching that empowers the career seeker to find the right answers on their own and navigate their career course in a way that feels right for them alone. A good coach will never just hand you instructions, but is there instead to offer expert advice, an objective viewpoint, positive encouragement and suggestions to help manage your goals effectively, in a manner that works for you.

3. A career seeking buddy.

Sometimes it isn't easy being that "horse of a different color" in your group of friends. If everyone you know is consumed with their corporate job but you have a strong urge to strike out on your own, you may get some resistance from those who can't relate or are fearful you might be making a mistake. The solution is not to try to persuade the naysayers, but instead seek like-minded people or a supportive friend to commiserate with, share experiences with, and bounce ideas off of. It's so important to feel like you have someone who understands what you're going through during the sometimes unpredictable yet exhilarating career transition time. You can find a career seeking buddy by following up with some of the other points in this article--for example, visiting online and in-person networks where career seekers converge, taking a career education course or career teleclass and reaching out to classmates, or even asking your career coach to introduce you to others in her circle of contacts.

4. A mentor or someone who has "been there."

Is there someone in your life who you admire because they didn't follow the status quo, created their own path or just seem to be living out an amazingly full and satisfying life and career? Maybe you have a friend, relative, or acquaintance who started their own business or managed to interweave creativity and flexibility into their professional life in a way that stands out from the crowd. Now is a perfect time to ask for advice and guidance from that person, listen to their story, learn from their mistakes, and apply this knowledge to the changes that you're going through in your own career. Most people are more than happy to share what they have learned. The experience is sure to be enlightening and you will be making a friend and professional contact in the process.

5. Career education courses.

Newspapers, career publications, public libraries, online career resources and even my career website, HallieCrawford.com, are all great places to discover reasonably-priced career education and transition courses. Become armed with the knowledge needed to begin your journey on the path to a more fulfilling career. I myself offer a terrific and inspiring Career Seekers Teleclass that's held several times per year. It's a fantastic support program for those who are interested in coaching but either aren't ready to invest in individual coaching just yet, or really like the idea of participating in a group where others are going through the same thing you are. For more information, visit my website at the bottom of this article.

When you're striving for a positive change in your life, the goal is to seek out experiences and people that help you pursue that goal, enhance your knowledge, and offer positive feedback. It's understandable that our human support group won't always exist in the places where we're used to having it... but help is out there. I have confidence that you will receive the guidance and understanding you need to move forward with your dream of the ultimate career for you. Good luck!

Changing Jobs: Taking that Plunge

When we need to take that initiative it becomes rather difficult to switch! Don't just jump on to leaving your present job unless and until you have another appointment letter in your hand.

Successfully changing careers can be a time-consuming endeavor. It will require a lot of patience and hard work. Here are a few tips for successful changing-career:

Do your homework in choosing a new field or job

Before you decide to resign you need to do your homework thoroughly. Decide whether you want to join a all-together new field or you just want to be in the same field or related field but in some company which has more exposure in your field. Talk to as many people who work in the area as possible. Join professional organizations and network. Always keep updating yourself with all that is new happening either in your field or related field.

Prepare yourself for the new job

Now is the time when you will prepare yourself. After you have done your homework properly and you have gathered all the relevant information about the company and its job requirement and also the salary they will be offering, you have to prepare yourself for the job. Again you have to prepare yourself for the interview. Remember that being selected in an interview is totally on you and the experience you have gathered from your previous jobs.

Take the leap

After you have cleared everything and you have your new appointment letter in hand you can take the leap. Your new job might give you that job satisfaction you are craving for. It might give you more exposure and better job prospects. You must be getting higher pay but the most important thing that you are acquiring is the experience. So initially it is recommended that you switch jobs and now a days most of the young crowd especially in the software and advertising field switch jobs within 6 months of joining a company. It is very helpful in shaping your career as well as in giving you experience.

Career Icebreaker: Finding Your Hidden Talents and Resources

Are you wanting to switch careers or explore new job options? Perhaps you are unhappy with your current career, but unsure of what your options are. Maybe you have so many options that you feel overwhelmed. Whatever your situation, taking some time out for a self-evaluation prior to making any big change is a smart move. It’s probably been a while since you last thought about your natural talents and abilities! Career coaching can help you uncover and identify those talents and abilities that, once realized, can lead you on a journey to greater career fulfillment.

Try the following brainstorming exercise, meant to help you pull out the best parts of your professional personality. All you need is a pen and paper or your computer, and some quiet time to reflect. There are no right or wrong answers here. Just be honest with yourself. When we're reasonable about what we can achieve, we're better matched to a future position, one that satisfies us because we're already inclined to perform that particular role and do it well.

1. As a child, what types of leisure activities did you enjoy most?

(Were you handy with tools? Good at making crafts? Did you write stories, enjoy brain teasers? What about sports or outdoor exploration? Were you a budding entrepreneur, with lemonade stands, a paper route, or other lucrative childhood pursuits? What about science projects or caring for and spending time with pets?)

2. When asked to volunteer for a group project, whether it's on the job, with your church, school, or another place, in which areas do you typically offer your assistance?

3. Which electives did you sign up to take in high school, college, or other training school? Out of those, which classes stand out in your mind as being the easiest and most enjoyable for you? Which ones did you get the best grades in, and for what types of assignments or projects?

4. What extracurricular activities did you participate in at your high school and/or college?

(To which groups did you belong, and what areas did you sign up to offer your contributions? Were you on the school paper or yearbook committee? Did you enjoy building stage sets for the theater group or work as a deejay for your school radio program? Were you a sports team member or assistant coach? Computer or math club?)

5. Think back to all the memorable moments in your life where you were congratulated or acknowledged for your efforts. What did you do at that time to warrant recognition? If you can think back to notes of thanks, testimonials or other expressions of appreciation, what messages did people have to say about your best qualities?

6. When asked to write your performance reviews for previous jobs, which areas did you most excel at, and in what ways? Take some time to explain, citing examples of moments where you exhibited stellar performance on the job.

When you're finished writing out the answers to the above questions, go back and re-read your answers. What personal attributes can you see popping up repeatedly over the course of your life? Can you think of different types of jobs where you'd be able to best utilize these skills and personal strengths?

Congratulations! You have just taken the first necessary step to uncovering your career skillset. Now try your hand at writing your resume. If you have additional questions or want to take the next step in uncovering a career that fits for you, review the career coaching and career teleclasses page from HallieCrawford.com for more information.
