We have all been there. The empty threats, the grounded for a week, the no screen consequences and still your child seems to repeat the same behaviours.
You just need a little more knowledge around their brain and development💚
When a child is dysregulated they do not need consequences. The fastest way to get them to regulate is by co-regulating with them.
Think of the 3 R's
Regulate first
Relate to them eg. Offering empathy, narrating ehat has hapoened
Reason comes last. This is the part when you can decide if a consquence is needed. But this is only effective once regulation has occured.
Save this for later💚
