LADIES OF THE PARISH
May 10, June 14, July12, Aug 9, Sept 13
The St. Jude Council of Catholic
Women has made the decision to
make the Second Tuesdays of the
Month our regular evening meeting in
the St. Jude Parish Life Center. Please
mark 7 p.m. on your calendars at least
for the summer months. We don’t
have a complete “line up” for the year, but will begin
with a presentation from some ladies of our parish
that just returned from a pilgrimage to Italy. It will
be great fun to hear about the trip first hand and
hopefully see some pictures as well. We will also let
you know how wonderful the Council of Catholic
Women convention was in Jefferson City in midApril for those of you who were unable to attend.
We do not plan to serve refreshments other than
drinks. Hope to see you there. Any questions, call
Emily at 785-6156.
EASTER FLOWER FUND
Your donations for Memorial Easter Flowers far
exceeded our expectations! Since the flowers had to
be pre-ordered, we were unable to display as many
as were requested. The new plants that now adorn
our altar have been purchased from the remaining
Easter flower fund. We are grateful for the flowers
and plants that honor your loved ones during the
Easter season and in the weeks to come.
PRAYER LIST
Please check the prayer list in the bulletin
and see if your name or the name of
someone you placed on the list is still
being carried. If the original need for the
prayer has passed, please contact Gail at the parish

3 errores que cometen los padres cuando son
intimidados por sus hijos
No te preocupes: También te presentamos
soluciones sencillas y eficaces que están a tu
alcanceEs el final de un largo día. Acabas de llegar a
casa del trabajo, completamente exhausta. Prendes
la televisión, te tumbas en el sofá, y miras tu
programa favorito. Saboreas este momento de
silencio.Entonces, tu hijo comienza a lloriquear sin
parar. Quiere un pedazo de pastel de chocolate
antes de cenar. Le dices que no.“Me lo prometiste”,
dice. “Me dijiste que podría comerlo cuando llegara
a casa”.Le dices que espere hasta después de cenar.
Entonces se para frente a la televisión. “¡Lo quiero
ahora, ahora mismo!”.Cierras los ojos y respiras. Tal
vez cuentas hasta 10. Pero tu hijo aumenta el tono: “¡Me
mentiste! ¡Te esperé todo el día! ¡Te odio! ¡Eres una
estúpida!”.Esta prueba de paciencia termina volviéndose
un bullyingmomentáneo. Estás siendo agredida y
degradada verbalmente por tu propio hijo.¿Qué haces?3
tácticas comunes de contraataqueNormalmente, los
padres eligen una de las tres respuestas en esos
momentos: rendirse, castigar o negociar.1.Rendirse En
toda batalla vale la pena luchar. Rendirse y dar a tu hijo lo
que quiere es, a veces, una buena opción, especialmente si
estás queriendo un poco de paz. Pero cuando la prueba de
paciencia se transforma en un asedio moral, ¿qué
hacer?En este caso, nunca cedas a las exigencias del niño.
Hacer eso equivaldría a recompensar el comportamiento
abusivo. Este es un momento de enseñanza que ofrece la
lección equivocada.Cada vez que te rindes al asedio moral
de tu hijo, le envías este mensaje simple: la intimidación
funciona. Entonces, la próxima vez que él se sienta
frustrado por tus restricciones, te intimidará para lograr
lo que quiere: Finalmente, le has enseñado que si insiste
lo suficiente, te rendirás tarde o temprano.
2.Castigar Cuando tu hijo te hace bullying, es difícil no
incomodarse y responder a la provocación. Poseer la
fuerza de carácter para resistir al comportamiento
agresivo de un niño no es una habilidad que surge
naturalmente. Como sucede con cualquier forma de
autodominio, es necesario cultivarla.Perder la calma,
gritar e imponer a tu hijo castigos severos son formas de
contra bullying que crean una cultura de intimidación en
la familia. Los padres que ganan las batallas contra sus
hijos, en realidad obtienen victorias amargas. No hay ni
vencedor ni ganador. Uno está feliz y el otro no.
Los niños que reciben castigos constantes se vuelven
despreciativos y resentidos y, más tarde, pueden surgir
problemas de comportamiento más graves. Por ejemplo,
el niño puede:
– Volverse desafiante y opositor, de manera directa o a
través de la resistencia silenciosa.
– Interiorizar su frustración y terminar desarrollando una
depresión o ansiedad.
– Intensificar aún más las intimidaciones, ampliando los
conflictos y perturbando a toda la familia.
(Negociar)Ok, tu hijo está teniendo un colapso. Si fueras
una madre atenta, pararías por un momento y
considerarías tus opciones. Intentarías entender su punto
de vista. Él te esperó todo el día (y su pastel). Entonces,
cuando finalmente llegas a casa, en vez de saludarlo te
tumbaste en el sofá, prendiste la televisión y lo
ignoraste.Resultado: Él está molesto, y con el derecho de
estarlo. Entonces decides hacer un acuerdo. Le ofreces la
mitad de un pedazo ahora, y la otra mitad después de
cenar. Ahora considera:¿La negociación es la mejor
opción en este momento?¿Y si él hiciera una
contrapropuesta?Supón que él continúa intimidándote
y exigiendo todo el pedazo. La negociación es una opción
popular en la paternidad moderna. Y la intención de
encontrar un terreno común con tu hijo durante los
conflictos no es una mala idea. Tú cedes un poco, él cede
un poco, y todo el mundo se queda feliz, ¿verdad?(Sí y
no)Cuando la prueba de paciencia se vuelve un bullying,
la negociación está descartada. Cuando negocias con un
valentón, preparas el escenario para otros conflictos. De
la misma forma que la rendición, la negociación
recompensa el bullying y entrena a tu hijo a repetirlo. La
próxima vez que tu hijo se frustre con tus restricciones,
volverá a hacer bullying, porque éste lleva a la
negociación, y la negociación tiende a ser beneficiosa para
él.Otro problema de la negociación: el niño puede
comenzar a pensar que todo, incluso el buen
comportamiento, es negociable. En vez de hacer algo por
los buenos sentimientos que produce esa acción, termina
haciendo las cosas sólo en vistas a una recompensa. Por
ejemplo:Tu hija te pide que le pagues por hacer su cama.
Tu hijo espera una recompensa por hacer sus tareas de
casa.Tus hijos piden dinero por tener buenas notas.El
buen comportamiento nunca debe ser una moneda de
intercambio. La negociación por recompensas sustituye la
conquista personal y provocará una pérdida de
autoestima en tus hijos. En vez de que desarrollen
autosuficiencia y autonomía, se quedan inmaduros y
apegados a sus padres por la gratificación. 3 opciones
que podrías elegir Has aprendido que rendirse,
castigar o negociar son soluciones que no funcionan a
largo plazo. Estas tácticas ofrecen algún alivio a corto
plazo, gestionando los síntomas del bullying, pero no sus
causas.Antes de mirar las cuestiones más profundas,
consideremos los tres pasos más importantes que puedes
dar en un momento de bullying: evitar el conflicto,
validar sentimientos, y elevar los puntos fuertes.1.Evitar
el conflict En momentos de bullying, los padres muchas
veces reaccionan impulsivamente y aumentan el conflicto.
Gritan o castigan, lo que aumenta la tensión y empeora
el bullying. Es vital mantener la compostura y liderazgo
en tales momentos. No te vuelvas reactivo o des
respuestas automáticas. Permanece con los pies en la
tierra, sin drama.Si el conflicto se agrava, aprieta el botón
de pausa: Toma un momento y dale a todos una
oportunidad para calmarse. Cuando los niños están en
estado de intensa frustración, no se puede argumentar
con ellos. Si lo intentas, sólo aumentarás aún más su
frustración.Tú y tu hijo se beneficiarán mucho cuando
comiences a dar un momento de silencio para acomodar
tus pensamientos y recuperar tu equilibrio. Si puedes, sal
de la sala o da un paseo tranquilo. Toma un poco de aire
fresco. Le darás tiempo para calmarse. Encuentra alguna
paz en ti mismo antes de intentar hacer las paces con tu
hijo. Cuando las cosas se calmen, puedes concientemente
determinar cuál es la acción a tomar.2.Validar
sentimientos Nunca te equivocarás al validar los
sentimientos de tu hijo:“Yo entiendo que estás frustrado.
Yo también lo estoy”.“Puedo ver que estás molesto. Dame
10 minutos de silencio para pensar mejor en ello”.“Vamos
a comer algo antes de hablar sobre eso”.Los niños
responden positivamente cuando reconoces sus
sentimientos. Se calman inmediatamente.Durante la
pausa, pregúntate a ti misma. “¿Qué podría estar
causando el bullying de mi hijo? ¿Está cansado? ¿Tiene
hambre? ¿Se siente descuidado? ¿Fue un largo día para
todos?”.El bullying es un efecto: tiene siempre una causa
subyacente. Considera lo que podría estar irritando
tanto a tu hijo. Ayúdalo a decir lo que piensa y,
enseguida, valida sus sentimientos.“Yo entiendo
que estás con rabia, tienes derecho a estarlo”.“Tus
sentimientos están heridos. Estás irritado porque
no te daré lo que quieres”.“En vez de pelear, vamos
a intentar otra cosa: Dime por qué estás tan
enojado”.Incentiva una comunicación más madura.
El sentimiento que demostraste comprender
desarmará la frustración y reformulará el momento.
Recuerda: Dale al niño lo que necesita, no lo que
quiere.Aprender a comunicar de forma eficaz en
momentos de frustración es más importante que
cualquier cosa que tu hijo esté deseando en ese
momento. Rendirse, castigar o negociar le quita al
niño la oportunidad de lidiar con su frustración y
dominarla.Deja claro que el bullying nunca
funciona:“No voy a responder mientras estés
gritándome”.“De esa manera no vas a conseguir lo
que quieres”.“Puedes hacerlo mejor que esto. Eres
muy inteligente para hablar sobre las cosas”.
3.Resaltar sus puntos fuertesDespués de
pensar en la 2uertes2 que tomarás, defiende tu
territorio. No modifiques nada para que tu hijo no
te pruebe e insista aún más. A lo largo del camino,
asegúrate de elogiar los puntos 2uertes de tu
hijo:“Yo 2uerte la manera como estás hablando
conmigo ahora”.“Yo se que eso fue difícil para ti.
Estoy orgullosa de la forma como estás
expresándote ahora”.“Estás 2uertes2 un gran
trabajo. Eso es madurez”.Al reforzar los puntos
2uertes de tu hijo aumentarás su confianza y
volverás la comunicación más gratificante que la
2uertes2on.
