6 Phrases to Stop Saying To Your Kids | 2 Jan 17, 2022

Show notes

In parenting, we tend to fall back on phrases when talking with our kids. We use the same phrases over and over again. Some of these phrases work and others, not so much. It's so important to reflect on the language we use, especially if our goal is to elicit more cooperation and help our kids make good choices. In today's episode, I'll share 6 common parenting phrases to stop using. For each phrase, I'll share why we often say these phrases in the first place, why it backfires on us, and most importantly, what to say instead and why. Hope you enjoy!

Top Phrases to Teach Kids (to Cutback on Tantrums & Aggressive Behaviors) | 1 Jan 09, 2022

Show notes

Giving our kids the language to use during social situations is KEY. When we teach kids exactly what they can say to get their needs met in social situations, we are building their self awareness, confidence, and ability to advocate for themselves. In general, I'm a fan of teaching good manners (e.g., please, thank you, excuse me), how to advocate for boundaries, how to ask for help, how to communicate their feelings and needs, and how to initiate conversations. In today's episode I will the exact phrases, word for word, to start teaching your child to say. You'll want to start teaching these phrases as soon as possible. Even if you have an infant. You can start teaching them through your modeling. Kids are always listening and picking up on our language (for better or worse, lol). Mind as well be intentional about the language we use so they can start advocating for themselves. Teaching these phrases will cut back on tantrums and aggressive behaviors because now they have the language they can use instead of lashing out with their bodies. It's a win-win! Hope you enjoy!
