Find the Magic

256 // Our Favorite Value Aligning Techniques for Intentional Parenting {Best of}


Listen Later

So often in parenting, we find ourselves...losing our cool, to put it nicely. We respond with anger; we use bribing or coercion to make our kids behave, and we hurt our relationship with our kids and ourselves in the process. In this episode, we take a deep dive into individual steps we can take anytime we find ourselves triggered by our kids’ behavior. We start with ourselves, pause, attune to our child, and then respond, not react, by setting limits and allowing logical consequences by looking at the need being expressed by our child’s behavior. This conversation will help you reframe difficult parenting situations and allow you to focus on the priority of your relationship.

  • Take a pause to connect to your intuition when making decisions.

  • Pay attention to what you fear and ask yourself why? Parenting helps us see ourselves more clearly. Don’t parent from a place of lack.

  • The Pause - Give your self time and space with your children

  • Use breath to bring yourself into the present moment and pause

  • Sometimes bad behavior is a cry for connection.
