"How do I get my kids to listen" and "Will you give me the concrete tools I need to make it happen?"
Definitely, the top questions that parents want to know.
"What do I do to get her to pick up her clothes, finish her lunch, turn off the iPad, etc.?"
I ask myself these questions all the time.
All children test boundaries, right?
However, holding those boundaries without getting angry and being able to set limits compassionately takes an incredible amount of self-awareness and emotional maturity.
Do you feel like you need to brush up on your self-regulation skills?
Children need us to be attentive and available to help them regain their emotional balance.
In the early years, a child's emotional balance can be thrown off needing to be reset as often as every FIVE minutes.
Intense? Draining?
Just a weeeee bit.
