What To Do About Embarrassing, Troubling, or Crazy-Making Things Our Kids Say 23:28

7d ago23:28

23:28

Children are wonderfully honest about what they’re feeling and thinking, and how they view the world around them. When they feel safe with us, they tend to lead from the heart, without filters. That can inspire some eye-opening and entertaining conversations! What happens, though, when our child openly makes observations or asks questions about ano…

7d ago35:46

35:46

Creating intimate bonds with our children is the primary parenting goal for most of us, and there are enormous benefits. Our kids are far more cooperative when they're regularly reminded that we see and accept them. The mutual trust we foster creates a sense of safety that helps our kids stay more grounded and self-regulated, so there won't be as m…

Words That Get in Our Way 16:55

21d ago16:55

16:55

Janet frequently advises us not to focus on trying to say the "right" words when we’re engaging with our kids. Why? Because regardless of the words we’re using, our children usually sense what we are feeling and how we are perceiving them moment to moment. So, generally, memorized scripts or phrases aren’t going to be as important as our true feeli…

It Works! Parents Report Powerful Benefits From Allowing Kids' Feelings 23:18

28d ago23:18

23:18

Allowing our children to vent their feelings, encouraging and even welcoming them however they are expressed (and not taking it personally!), it is not easy at first.

As conscious parents, we're doing our best to learn to anticipate and respond effectively to our children's behaviors and needs.
