Our expectations for our children are often very different than the expectations we hold for ourselves.
We tell children not to yell---while we scream at them for not listening. We tell children to be respectful---while we are employ shame as a discipline strategy. We tell children to be mindful of the screen time habits ----while our face is glued to our screen.

When a child is melting down, our instincts can take over — and not always the helpful ones.

We might lecture, rush to fix, or tell them to calm down… but these actually block co-regulation rather than build it.

Let’s talk about what not to do — and what to try instead — so we can truly help a child borrow our calm instead of our chaos.
