How to get your kids to listen WITHOUT yelling
In this "burning question" episode, we remind ourselves that our young children are still in the process of developing a slew of skills, so even though they don’t always follow directions immediately, we need to approach these situations with patience and empathy. We discuss the importance of first connecting with your child, spending a few minutes in their world before expecting them to engage in yours. Our goal is to move away from traditional fear-based parenting and towards more connection-based parenting. But what does this look like in practice? We provide actionable tips like breaking tasks down into small, manageable steps, as well as offering choices to tap into their innate need for autonomy and control. Whether you're struggling to get your child up in the morning or battling the dreaded bedtime resistance, we’re here to help! ✨Looking for more support?
