Parents ā every moment with your kid is either a wall or a window.
A wall when we react out of frustrationā¦
A window when we pause, listen, and help them name what they feel.
Try this: instead of saying āStop acting out!ā, say āLooks like youāre having a hard time ā want to try again?ā
Itās not about control ā itās about connection.
Small shifts. Big changes.
Letās talk though šā¦
Whatās ONE thing you used to say to your kid that you now realize was kinda⦠gaslight-ish?
No judgment. Letās find common ground and be honest with each other and ourselves. Weāre all a bit dramatic sometimes.
š Drop your funniest one and letās learn (and laugh) together.ā
