Understanding Tears, Tantrums and Whining

In today's episode of The Gentle Parenting Show, Kim sits down with Kathryn Kvols - a mother of 5. Through her 30 years of studying multiple courses and books, she wrote her book and education course "Redirecting Children's Behavior." Her goal is to help parents walk away with skills and tools to help their children's behavior. 

 

In this episode, Kim and Kathryn talk a lot about the why behind children's behavior. They discuss:

• Common Unmet Needs 
• Why Connection Matters
• Dealing with Sibling Rivalry 
• Dealing with Anger and Whining 
• Why Children Whine

 

Our favorite quotes from the episode are "instead of trying to stop the behavior, we need to look behind what the behavior is saying to us" and "connect before you expect"
