If you want to raise strong and confident kids, teaching assertiveness is key.

Assertive children know how to stand up for themselves (and others) without being hurtful or mean.

They can say “no,” communicate clearly, and maintain positive relationships that meet their own needs as well as those of others.

With practice, we can help kids master this powerful ability, and gain the many benefits associated with assertive communication.

Some key steps can be :
🔹 Talk about it
🔹 Define boundaries
🔹 Teach " I " messages
🔹 Bulid friendship skills
🔹 Model confidence

Your sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch are (almost) always with you, you can connect with them almost instantly and you don’t need to make any purchase to be able to tap into their calming and healing powers.

The ‘5 senses’ technique is a coping tool for stressful situations.

Also known as the ‘5,4,3,2,1’ technique, it helps to ease anxiety by encouraging you to focus on the present moment.

The technique works by connecting you with each of your five senses: sight, touch, hearing, smell, and taste.

Start by finding a quiet space and taking a deep breath, then follow these steps. 

▪️5(sight)- Look for five things
▪️4(touch)- Feel four sensations
▪️3(listen)- Listen for three sounds
▪️2(smell)- Smell two scents
▪️1(taste)- Taste one flavour

If your child regularly ignores you when you tell her "NO", then chances are you're saying it too frequently.

Your child may have heard the word so often that he/she has learned to tune it out. The problem with this is that they are too young to judge when listening to "NO" is important, such as when they are about to do something unsafe.

As a parent, it's impossible to stop yourself from saying “NO” sometimes, but life will be easier for both of you if you can find other ways to guide your child. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to avoid saying an outright “NO”.

How can you say "NO" to your child less often?
🔸Stay positive
🔸Offer options
🔸Use distractions
🔸Avoid tricky situations
🔸Pick your battle
🔸Say "NO" like you mean it

Hope this helps🌸

Children at young age are not able to express what they need emotionally.

I am not against the screen time but excess of screen can be harmful for the child's mental health.

The remote control gadgets loses the child's power to be patient and calm as the gadgets give their mind a sense of quickness in their actions.

The child fails to control his mind gradually and eventually it is the mind that has the complete control on the child.

Some red flags that you need to notice if your child uses gadgets for a long time:
▪️Inability to wait for his/her turn
▪️Restlessness
▪️Impatient
▪️Quick reactions
▪️Aggression
▪️Inability to process emotions
▪️Unable to associate with feelings of love, pain, hurt, with others

How can you intervene?
🔸Create screen time boundaries
🔸Follow a time table
🔸Spend more quality time with your kids
🔸Provide a safe space environment
🔸Go out on a weekend
🔸Initiate open ended conversations

Kids lie for many reasons. They may want to avoid a consequence or say what comes to mind even if it’s not true. Children may start lying suddenly.

This can be shocking for parents who have dealt with an honest child until now. Knowing why your child is lying and how to talk to them can help stop this behavior. 

Understanding why children start lying can help you treat the underlying reason. Children typically lie for four reasons. 

They may not know better. 

They may know it’s wrong to lie but have a stronger desire to accomplish something else. 

They may say what pops in their head without filtering. 

They may try to mislead an adult because they have negative feelings towards them. 

Before reacting, take a pause, be calm and patient and respond mindfully to your child. This not only helps you understand why the child lied to you but also helps your child acknowledge about what he must do in such situations.

One of the hardest tasks to achieve is to have a good and consistent parenting style. It is proven that certain practices of parenting are more harmful than they are beneficial to your child.

Some of the unhelpful parenting behaviors could be :

✨Disciplining the child infront of everyone

✨Reprimanding the child excessively

✨All advice, No encouragement

✨Withholding affection

✨Not setting rules

✨Lack of support

✨Not respecting child's feelings

✨Using a criticising tone

✨Comparing your child

✨Not proud of his/her achievements

Hope this helps and as parents we identify and modify our parenting behaviors that could be harmful for the child in later developing stages.

Children should see their parents being kind to themselves. Learn how to speak nicely about yourself. They should see their parents acknowledge what’s going well, what they are grateful for. It’s essential that parents really model for their children self-love, self-care and self-kindness.

When a child feels loved and secured that is when their emotional bucket is being filled. 

The idea of the emotional bucket is to encourage children to be more self-aware and be able to better express how they feel.
It helps them to understand when they are feeling certain emotions and they can explain this by referring to their bucket and whether it’s full, half full or empty.

This helps to improve a child’s emotional and social skills and allows them to be better equipped to emotionally regulate themselves. 

As children start to identify when their bucket is empty, parents can encourage their child to reflect on their language and behaviour. This allows them to move forward with effective tools to better manage their feelings next time. 

So, what can you do at home to encourage this concept and support your child emotionally? 

🌸 Actively Listen to Your Child
🌸 Spend One-On-One Time with Them
🌸 Regulate Your Own Emotions
🌸 Praise Effort Over Results
