Hand in Hand Parenting: The Podcast
Society & Culture
If you've discovered the simple and seemingly radical tool of Staylistening - of staying and listening through your child's upset - you may have been amazed by how your child recovers from that tantrum or meltdown and returns to brightness and easy co-operate.
Or, you may have not!
Surprise!
Staylistening doesn't always go the way we parents expect, and there can be many reasons why. On the podcast this week Elle and Abigail look at some of the different ways Staylistening can look.
Children may not go immediately to upset, they may go to anger and that may restimulate us as parents - or vice versa They may also tell us to "go away," leaving us worried about whether to stay close or not They don't want any kind of touch, or even for you to look at them How Staylistening looks at different agesAbigail talks about a technique she uses when her son wanted space called "drive-bys" and gives some insights to Elle into how to her son might be feeling when he changes the subject in the midst of a big upset. They finish on what happens if Staylistening moves to hitting and violence.
If Staylistening has given you one or two surprises, listen in as we decode what could be happening.
