Friday 5! ? Say THIS!

by | February 23, 2018 | 0 comments

Today on the Friday 5 I’m talking all about communication tweaks and how switching up our messages can do wonders in our parenting walk.

Do any of you sometimes feel like a broken record in telling your kids 10,000 times a day what you DO or DON’T want them to do? Often we can start to sound like that Charlie Brown teacher, remember her? “Wah Wah Wah Wah.” Our kids end up tuning us out because our charged tone & often negative communication style is anything but motivating and inspiring.

So would you consider switching it up and trying some new phrases? My newest article over on Mother-ly.com “20 Positive Parenting Phrases to Use When Your Kids Aren’t Listening” can help!

This quote by Rumi is great to get us on board with the idea that “it starts with us”.

I can tell you from experience that when my daughter was a toddler (before I found Positive Parenting curriculum), my days were spent looking to her to change, not me…but it wasn’t working. It as such a stressful time and my daughter and I did NOT have a great relationship.

When I got the memo that changing my own actions first, would naturally lead her to have positive change, it was like a giant backpack of weight had been taken off my back. Switching the focus to what I could do to “be the change I wanted to see” was still tough, but felt a whole lot better (and more right in my heart).

After some time of really adopting new positive parenting methods & communication styles, I started to be able to see the light in my strong little girl again and she truly started to blossom (and behave so much better!).
