If you’ve got kids like mine you’ve likely heard a groan or two about the start of school sneaking up on us.

Here the thing: the way we think has a huge impact on how we feel and negative thoughts trap us in distorted ways of thinking.

So how can we help our kids flip the script? 💭🤔
Challenge negative thoughts and change the narrative! The first step is having open conversations about what’s really at play and helping our kids find the confidence to do hard things!

There are ❌ NO ❌ perfect parents! We all mess up and make mistakes and that doesn’t make you a bad parent! What’s most important when we make mistakes with our kids is repair.

Try this ‼️

Next time you make a mistake with your child try vulnerability. Come back to them and let them know you made a mistake, that you’ll do better, and see how that changes things! Not only does it diffuse the situation your modeling how to make a mistake and take responsibility, a skill that will take them through life!
