How To Raise Kids Who Aren't A-holes

Hard Truth About Parenting the Conscious Way

"We are really struggling with kiddos not listening right now…I’m struggling to be patient and to show up as the parent I would like to be." In this solo podcast episode I answer some of your parenting questions (posted recently in our FB group).  "We are struggling with our 6.5 year old teasing his brother and yelling at him. My little one is about to turn 3. My boys are whining and struggling to listen. It’s feels like there’s a lot of conflict going."  "How to respond to my 6 yr old's frequent, explosive (& sometimes violent) tantrums - he has several a day over minor frustrations and not getting his way (even in response to long-established rules like no snacks in the hour before dinner)." I pulled common threads: kids not listening = not cooperating  kids having tantrums and whining = exhibiting emotion regulation and impulse control challenges  When it comes to kids not listening-cooperating, there are 2 emotional needs that we need to pay attention to: Attachment-connection Autonomy  I can suggest 3 ways to elicit cooperation:  Strengthen connection Honor and give more autonomy (in what areas you can give more autonomy?) Decrease control (how can you do that?)  Other Episodes You May Like The Secret To Getting Kids To Listen and Cooperate   Sibling Rivalry: Raising Friends for Life  BECOME A SUPPORTER OF THE SHOW 1.
