Today, I have a conversation with Danielle, who is one of my students in the connected parent mastermind group. We discussed the significance of connection and how providing our children with emotional support during intense moments can have a positive impact on future interactions.

During our conversation, Danielle shared a story about an incident that occurred while camping with her son. Her son had a tantrum and even went as far as pointing a fake gun at her. However, what surprised her was how both of them handled the situation.

How Can We Be More Empathetic with Our Kids Aug 10, 2023

Show notes

I understand that learning empathy can be a challenging journey, especially if it's not something that was modeled for us in our own upbringing. However, I've learned that empathy is a crucial component of creating a strong connection with our children. That means being present with them, especially during times of big emotions, listening with an open heart, and truly hearing what they have to say. If we can do that, we have the power to turn those moments into opportunities for connection, and that can make all the difference.

Punishing Aggressive Behavior Doesn’t Work Aug 08, 2023

Show notes

When a child starts hitting, kicking, or becoming aggressive, our initial reaction is often to punish them. However, punishing a child by sending them to time out, taking away their favorite activity, or grounding them for a weekend, does not effectively teach them right from wrong. I believe that no punishment can teach them because they already know what they did was wrong.

What’s going on in these circumstances is that their prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for reasoning, is not fully developed yet, making it difficult for them to make sound decisions, which happens as adults too. Today I’ll share with you what you can do when aggressive behavior shows up in your kids.

Show notes

Araminta was struggling with her child's behavioral issues when she discovered Peace and Parenting, which proved to be a lifesaver for her. After signing up for personal coaching the most important lesson she gained was that her son understood the difference between right and wrong, but lacked the ability to regulate his emotions. With this knowledge, Araminta is now better prepared to deal with her son's tantrums and intense feelings without becoming upset herself. She has discovered a method for remaining calm and collected in difficult circumstances.
