Knowing and speaking your child’s love language can help foster more connection, respect, and cooperation in your relationship. Based on Gary Chapman’s Love Languages of Children, listen here for an overview on the love languages our children (& us) may feel and show love by, and ways we, as caretakers, can better "speak" these languages.

If you catch yourself saying "be careful" almost without intention as your child explores and plays, listen here! Today on Beyond Motherhood Radio we hear phrases to replace "be careful" as well as some ways we can see risky play as a benefit to our children, and not a threat.

Try saying:

• Notice how… these rocks are slippery, the log is rotten, that branch is strong.
• Do you see… the poison ivy, your friends nearby?
• Try moving… your feet slowly, carefully, quickly, strongly.
• Try using your… hands, feet, arms, legs.
• Can you hear… the rushing water, the singing birds, the wind?
• Do you feel… stable on that rock, the heat from the fire?
• Are you feeling… scared, excited, tired, safe?

It’s important that we let our kids engage in risky or challenging play because it’s a great way for them to practice problem solving skills.

Help them out by asking:

• What’s your plan… if you climb that boulder, cross that log?
• What can you use… to get across, for your adventure?
• Where will you… put that rock, climb that tree, dig that hole?
• How will you…. get down, go up, get across?
• Who will… be with you, go with you, help you if?

3. Does the behavior increase, decrease, or stay the same during the entire duration?
4. What type of language is being used to help work through it?
5. What are the consequences?
6. What gets him/her out of the episode?
