Drop a 💗if you agree!
(and yes, this still applies to older kids who are bigger than you...I have a 13yo who is now 1/2 inch taller than me at 5'11" and just because he's bigger than me doesn't mean I'm going to start punishing him) ;)
So, how do we cultivate that inner discipline to respond with emotional maturity and compassion?
Simply relying on willpower won't work (believe me, I've tried).
We must heal the parts of ourselves who believe on some level that WE deserve to be punished.
We must deconstruct from the idea that kids must suffer to learn.
We must rewire our brains to respond instead of react (this takes lots of practice!)
We must give ourselves grace.
It's a non-linear, hard, beautiful process.
What part of this process is most difficult for you?

Here's what one parent just shared with me on Instagram:
"We have a ritual where I read my two boys, a card each each night just before bed. I then make a song up a bedtime song for each of them which incorporates the message on the card so it is reinstated. These cards are one of the best parenting tools I’ve ever come across! Both boys get to hear two great messages every night, and then as they drift off to sleep, their subconscious is filled with the message once more. I am so grateful for this resource, it is an absolute gem!
I also love that it’s not only a message for my boys but a daily reminder for me of how I want to parent. THANKYOU! You’ve given the world a great gift 🙏"
