What if disrespect is a story we tell ourselves? Handling disrespectful behavior is one of the most common challenges parents ask me for help with. In this week's episode of Confessions Of A Parent Coach, I will walk you through exactly how to deal with this maddening situation! Listen in to hear: ♦ The number one first step in dealing with disrespect. Without this, no other parenting skill will work to handle disrespect. ♦ How to stay calm and connected with your child even when their behavior is SO disrespectful. ♦ Exactly what to do when kids slam doors, hang up on you, walk away when you're speaking to them, and all the other disrespectful behaviors that drive you nuts. Your child’s behavior may be disrespectFUL, but you get to decide whether to FEEL disrespected - whether to discipline around their behavior or around your feelings - whether their behavior is something drastic and upsetting, or simply an unfortunate choice that requires a parental response. When you work with me, I help you change the story, learn to stay connected with your child and calm when they misbehave, and respond to them in ways that actually WORK to improve their behavior.
