If you disagree or think your child’s feeling is wrong, try being curious instead of correcting. Remember, more than one thing can be true! (Example: Our child can have friends AND sometimes feel lonely and like nobody likes them. )

This one takes a conscious effort for most parents! We must be in control of our own emotions and *choose* to be patient, calm and kind.
The example may or may not be based on a true story.😉

Be on the lookout for the rest of this series!
Part one is apologize. No matter how hard we try or how much we “know”, it’s impossible to be perfect. (we don’t need to be!) We may lose our temper, say something we regret or maybe we need to apologize for something we didn’t do (I’m sorry, I was distracted and not listening. I want to listen to you now.) Sincerely apologizing to our children sends the message they are important to us, and that we want to have a good relationship with them! (Also, children often model behaviors they see. If they see their parents apologize when needed, chances are they will too!)

Anyone else ever say something like this to a child? “I lost my temper earlier. You deserve a better dad.”

This way of talking teaches that mistakes make a person who they are. Children who learn this will grow into teens that find talking to their parents about their mistakes very difficult. If our children make mistakes let’s not let them think: “my parents deserve a better kid.”

A reminder for myself this morning. Our children will benefit much more from knowing that they have a parent who cares about them, than a parent that is right.

Many decisions feel like a “yes or no” type decision. But if you take the time to think of a third option, you’ll often come up with a better option or at least feel more sure of the “yes” or the “no.” This is also a great skill to teach your kids! When they come to you with tough decisions, encourage them to come up with three possible responses.

Let’s teach our children to communicate without catching others in lies. What good does it do to ask if a child has made his bed, when you know he hasn’t? Is it fun to say: “aha! I actually know you DIDN’T make your bed!” I think the same goes for interactions with other adults, it doesn’t really do any good to ask a question we already know the answer to.

One of the best ways to positively impact your relationship with your children is by spending individual time with them. For many of us, one-on-one time can be difficult. If you are having a hard time knowing how to spend one-on-one time with your child, ask him/her to teach you something. As you’re being taught, really listen, show interest (even if it feels like something you aren’t interested in), and thank them for sharing.

I’m excited to announce, I am opening my own practice! 🎉 My office is in Kaysville, across the street from the Kaysville City Library.
I’ve been taking some time off to recover from brain surgery but will be back to work starting in May! I have availability for in-person or virtual therapy appointments. I had a full caseload at the previous clinic I worked at, but with the location change and taking some time off I have availability again! If you or someone you know are looking for a mental health therapist, I would love to chat to see if we would be a good fit.

I have submitted paperwork to be paneled with most insurance companies. If you send me a message through the website I will put you on my list of people to call once I’m accepting your insurance. (Should be within the next few weeks) 🙂 Please visit my website for more information!
