Deep thoughts about how parenting can change the w

Deep thoughts about how parenting can change the world.❤️

The more accepting our parents were of us.

The more accepting we are of ourselves.

The more accepting we are of ourselves, the more accepting we are of others.

The good news is once we identify this, we can change our area of acceptance and therefore our children's acceptance of themselves.

Helping future generations become more accepting of others.

I talked earlier about how to listen with empathy.

I talked earlier about how to listen with empathy.

Today, here's a tip on how to talk when you need help. This message (also called an I-Message) is about YOU, not the child.

It reflects your inner experience, how the problem affects you, how you feel about it, and the description of what is bothering you.

Notice there is no blame, it's just information that helps them connect the dots, which kids don't always do...because their brains are still developing.

Have you ever noticed that when you're on the phone and your kids are being loud and you tell them "Hey, I'm on the phone!" They don't always quiet down. That's because, in their mind, you're stating the obvious. They don't see the problem because they don't understand the impact.

So, when you use the I-Message and instead say, "Hey when you are laughing and yelling while I'm on the phone I can't hear Grandma and I don't want to miss anything." Now, your kids have enough information to connect those dots and act out of consideration and *want* to help you.

When you put this skill together with Active Listening, that's where you'll see the real magic start to happen. Let me know what happens if you try this out!

It’s common for parents to feel like they need to present a “united front” to support their partner. But let’s be real—kids are smart!

They know who’s more likely to give in and will keep pushing until they get what they want. Or worse, one parent ends up throwing the other under the bus: “Your mom said no, so that’s the rule.” (Yep, mom’s the bad guy again!)

But here’s the good news—you can support your partner AND stay true to yourself! Try this instead: “That doesn’t bother me, but it bothers your mom, and her feelings are important to me. So you’ll need to find another solution.”

This way, you’re not just backing up your spouse—you’re showing your kids the importance of respect, empathy, and working together. And that’s a huge WIN for everyone! 🏆
