Some Storm insight for today....

Demanding respect doesn't earn respect. It's something that children learn through observing adults, by how we treat them and others. Modeling and giving respect is how children will learn this best.

If you don't want to punish your kid, but still find yourself tempted to do so, it's worth looking under hood to see what that's about. If we're truly going to embrace this non-coercive, non-punitive way of parenting our kids, we must first unravel the ideas (and oftentimes, lies) that we picked up about ourselves as kids.

So, in case you need a reminder: You didn't need to suffer emotionally or physically in order to learn. Yes, perhaps your parents were doing the absolute best they could have been doing with the resources and skills they had. But two things can be true - you didn't deserve punishment AND your parents were (hopefully) trying their best.

Once you've gotten that truth inscribed on your heart, it's so much easier to problem-solve with your child instead of punish them.

If you're looking for some extra support on your journey, please be sure to check out my Connected Kid Collection at the link in my bio or go to GetCKC.com. It's an empowering bundle of 3 different parenting products that I created to help you strengthen the connection with your child, yourself, and your inner child. It's a 3-prong approach to conscious parenting and it's a framework I carefully and intentionally included in each of these products.

This is a great reminder! Let children see us do these things. Not just parents, but teachers, as well. They will learn & follow what we model.

In this shift of perspective we no longer see a child who is purposely trying to lash out or disrupt, but instead, we will see a child who is desperately trying to communicate their unmet needs. ❤️
