We are all familiar with those negative behaviours: not listening, hiting, melting down, back chat or disengagement.
It’s easy to label our kids and see them difficult or rude or dramatic.
But what’s really happening is that their nervous systems are in protection mode. Their internal guard dog is on alert (even if it’s because the carrots are the wrong shape or you said no to going out to see friends). Their bodies sense threat.
What we do or say in that moment with our kids can change everything.
The same is true for us as parents. The not listening or rudeness feels like a threat and we yell or threaten or shutdown to protect ourselves too.
I teach and support parents to show up differently. To understand what’s happening beneath the behaviour and manage their responses- getting everyone back to regulated and calm faster.
