Securely Attached

Q&A: How can I use a positive parenting approach with my older kids?


Listen Later

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...

 

 

1:53 - What "positive parenting" really is from a psychological perspective.

 

4:20 - Our child's development is not always linear, it's important to consider their regulation level and other situational factors when we set our expectations of them.

 

5:20 - As parents, we're often more triggered when our elementary-aged and older kids exhibit "bad behaviors."

 

7:19 - How to have a productive conversation with your child to pregame, collaboratively problem solve, and reflect on hot moments together once they are back in a regulated state.

 

9:10 - For older kids, you may need more structured behavioral interventions beyond just validating emotions and reflecting their feelings back to them.

 

14:17 - How to tailor your parenting approach to your unique child, rather than just accepting universal parenting strategies that may not be a good fit for you and your family.
