Heartstring parent coaching

It’s HARD not to over-react

When one of your kids hits or gets aggressive with their sibling, it is really hard to stay composed.

Mama bear instinct comes out and we want to protect our kids (even from each other)

We think that our kids won’t know it’s bad and wrong if we don’t yell, threaten or punish them

But the truth is, our kids are not likely missing that information. They are missing skills.

And big over the top reactions keep our kids in their emotional brain, where logic and reasoning and learning are gone.

So in order to teach our kids right from wrong and what to do next time, they have to be able to get their thinking brain back online.

Yelling, threatening and “NO hitting” is not going to create that safety in the brain that they need.

But this is a struggle, let me know if you are having a hard time with it.
