Today I'm talking about having confidence in using our voice with the intention to speak our truth and show our authenticity. 

Our words matter.

Our thoughts matter.

Our actions matter.

It all plays into our ability to set and hold healthy boundaries. 

Today I answer the question that many have asked me, "Why do I call it Beauty in Behavior? Where is the Beauty in Behavior?"

The beauty comes from our seeking better solutions for behavior and to feel better in our relationships with our children. I discuss how traditional discipline practices can get in the way and how we can strive for healthier relationships with ourselves and others.

Today's episode is all about how to encourage children's feelings of self-worth. 

Many of our traditional discipline practices create a culture of competition and comparison. These practices are so embedded in our culture they often go unnoticed. We may think we are encouraging our children when unknowingly we may be discouraging them. 

Encouragement GIVES to the child. Discouragement happens when we are trying to GET our child to do something or act in a certain way.  Encouragement celebrates the child for who they are without a focus on an outcome. 

Today's information comes from Dr. Becky Bailey's Book for Parents - Easy To Love, Difficult To Discipline. 

In this episode we talk about transforming yelling into healthy communication. Self- regulation is one of the most important skills we can teach our children. We discuss how to become the model of self-regulation you want to see in your children.

What plays a role in building healthy communication with our children:

It's easy to hide when we are uncomfortable.   It's so much harder to be BRAVE.  The fear of judgment is real!

It takes being BRAVE to :

Being BRAVE is uncomfortable and it moves us towards FREEDOM. 

On this very first episode I share my journey and how my perception shifted around children's behaviors.  I am passionate about changing our  perceptions and limiting beliefs around children's behavior. I believe that children's behaviors present us with opportunities for learning and growth both for us and them. 

I support parents who want to understand their children's behavior at a deeper level. Find out about my coaching programs here https://www.dianesorensen.net/
