Your child doesn’t need to fix their attitude. They need you to empathize and co-regulate with them.

I feel like this one will create some defensiveness. Everytime I suggest empathy and co-regulation, instead of correction.

You can’t just force your child to respect you. They learn what respect looks and sounds like from you. If you give them respect, then they may reciprocate, but respect should not be conditional, same as love.
J. Milburn


Respect that is forced is usually based in fear.

Do you find yourself getting caught up on this idea? Do you find your desire for respectful behaviour and communication gets in the way of connecting with your child, at times?

In my book Finding Your Calm: A Responsive Parent’s Guide to Self-Regulation and Co-Regulation, I discuss how our perception of respect can often be a barrier to connection. Once you stop feeling offended by your child’s behaviour, it’s easier to help them learn new strategies for communicating.

Who is the big arbiter of what is considered “healthy” or not?

It has to be YOU: and how you feel from the inside out.

So yes, take care of your body, and nutrition,

But don’t neglect your emotions,

or the callings of your soul…

⚠️Trigger Warning ⚠️
Training your child to be obedient makes them easier prey for predators.

But no one wants to talk about that. We just want obedience because it’s convenient. Because it’s what the school, child care, swim teacher and the soccer coach all expect. It makes everyone’s job easier… well you know who else’s job it makes easier? Predators. Obedience… at what cost? That’s what I think about… at what cost?

There are other ways to parent that don't focus on obedience as the main goal. One of these methods is Responsive Parenting.

I have some exciting news… I have released a new EBook!! I have taken the Connect Instead of Correct Challenge and turned it into a book. Why?! Because I basically explain how to connect instead of correct in most of the common scenarios that parents ask about.

Some topics covered
- Bedtime
- Getting ready in the morning
- Out in public (public dysregulation, material wants, impatience, incentives vs. rewards)
- Mealtimes
- Messes
- Aggression
- “Rude” behaviour
- Safety concerns

And so much more…

I also explain the “why” behind all this, including a lot of links to research and additional resources to support your learning. Even if you aren’t ready for the challenge, the book will help you understand this approach in a way I just can’t teach via IG.

For ages 1-12
