Hand in Hand Parenting: The Podcast
Society & Culture
So, you want your kids to walk in the door, hang their jacket, unpack their bags, eat quickly and get back out the door, freshly changed, for practice.
But right now you are at, well, walk in the door.
BOOM! Cue screaming, crying, defiance and running in the exact opposite direction that you'd like.
So how do you get from where you are now, to where you want to be with your kids?
This week's podcast was inspired by a mom that worked with Abigail and feels like she can't get her child to do ANYTHING.
Elle sympathizes, explaining that there has been a serious lack of 'tidy up practice' at home that can, at times, have her pulling her hair out.
Your Blueprint for Building Better Habits and Good BehaviorTogether we talk about why things might be hard, and the steps we can take to encourage good behavior and better habits in our kids - without losing it.
It can be really difficult to meet your child where they are, but these moments of struggle to master new habits can offer great opportunities to connect with your child at a deep level and bring about profound shifts.
