Children and the "Quality World"

Remember a while ago we talked about the quality world?  To refresh your mind, we hold all the things that give us pleasure:  the people we most want to have relationships with, the things we most want to interact with, and the ideals or beliefs we hold most dear.
Children begin building their quality world at birth, and add to it their whole life. Over time, if a child is frustrated in meeting any of the pictures in their quality world they begin to act out.  They choose behaviors that seem reasonable to them at the time.  Dr. Glasser tells us that all behavior is meaningful and purposeful, and that it is the best we could think of at the time.
The more thought you give to your children's quality world, and the more you help them find what matches their pictures, the better their behavior will  become.
The second thing you can do to help mend behavior is build a good relationship.  One of the most important needs is the need for love and belonging; therefore, the better your relationship, the better they will feel.
