Let’s make ONE thing easier - talking to your kids and making requests they will respect.

Published about 2 months ago • 2 min read

Reader!

Empathy is great, but what happens when you’re acknowledging feelings and it's not getting you much more than frustrated? 😩

How do you uncover your true child’s motivations and help them shift?

Do you get stuck on the words and end up saying things like…?

  • I understand you’re frustrated, but we’ve talked about this.
  • You can be mad, but it’s not nice to hit people.
  • When you feel upset, what did I tell you to do?
  • Now, let’s try again so you can do better.

When you read those words, do you feel cared for and ready to try again, or does it sound a little bit... “I told you so” shamey and guilt-trippy?

Hint: It describes how my communication sounds when I’m trying to be conscious but too dysregulated to get there. 😬

Don't get me wrong, it’s an honorable attempt. But if we stay:

  1. logical ("we've talked about this")
  2. judgmental ("it's not nice")
  3. demanding ("what did I tell you? you can do better.")

It's the fastest route BACK to using power and control (and a cycle of chaos) because it’s almost impossible to use more effective language if we’re in the wrong mindset.

Maybe you hoped "acknowledging feelings" was all you needed to do to get the results you wanted and haven’t fully investigated the root of the challenge.

You’re so close!!

Knowing that empathy is important is crucial. But understanding how to be empathetic and STILL SET LIMITS without blame, shame, judgment, or guilt - that’s another story.
