As parents, we need to be aware and hopefully eliminate the use of the phrase, "Because I said so." Not only does this strip all control and power from our kids, it encourages them to give blind consent. We don't really want our kids just giving their blind consent throughout their life. We want our kids to know what they are agreeing to and why, or we want them to understand why they have to shower or bathe or why they have to move their body or why they have to eat vegetables.

So when our child is faced with said situations, or let's say they're set up for an activity or a task and something goes wrong. It can be helpful to reflect back on control circles when determining how to solve the problem. Part of navigating our control or maybe lack thereof is actually having both acceptance and flexibility.

So being mindful of our ability to accept what is out of our control. And then being mindful of our ability to be creatively flexible when we have no control or we feel like we have no control. How can we get creatively flexible? We can definitely model this as parents while also empowering our children to have a choice and be creative when there are only so many options.

Control, the power to influence or direct people's behavior or the course of events. There are days when we feel totally in control and days where we feel like we have little to no control. There will be races and contests that are lost. How do we as parents model acceptance of what is out of our control and commit to what is in our control?
