Gentle parenting is a generational change for most of us, but we all have that one person who just doesn't get it.

This week, Charisse shares the struggles she's had with getting her husband on board (spoiler alert: it's still a journey). What has and hasn't worked for them and what tools are at our disposal to help get everyone on board?

Dealing with Disappointment Jul 10, 2022

Show notes

Who here has had their kid(s) pout when they have to turn off the TV? Did they throw a fit when you told them that they couldn't go to the park? Maybe they started crying in the store when they found out that they weren't going to get that toy they wanted even though they really really wanted it. All of these reactions are signs of our little ones experiencing disappointment. While we know our instinct is to get frustrated with them or just tell them "those the breaks" that doesn't really do anything to help our children process it. Today, Charisse helps walk us through the warning signs of disappointment and what we can do to help regulate our children as they experience it.
