Weโre doing that
Weโre changing how the generations after us view children and parenting. This evolution is crucial and should be celebrated. Itโs not always easy but I do think itโs necessary. For the most part, society has evolved to see forced respect and โloveโ as not love at all, but coercive control. Still there is heightened tolerance for this perspective in the parenting realm. We see being responsible for someone else as having control over them. How can I be responsible for their well-being without having control over them? Itโs a hard questionโฆ it shouldnโt be but it is because weโve had so few examples of collaborative parenting. Of connection over correction.
Have you tried the Connect Instead of Correct Challenge?
Some topics covered
- Bedtime
- Getting ready in the morning
- Out in public (public dysregulation, material wants, impatience, incentives vs. rewards)
- Mealtimes
- Messes
- Aggression
- โRudeโ behaviour
- Safety concerns
And so much moreโฆ
I also explain the โwhyโ behind all this, including a lot of links to research and additional resources to support your learning. Even if you arenโt ready for the challenge, the book will help you understand this approach in a way I just canโt teach via IG.
