Hi Reader, I haven't sent a note since my last email about behavior not being the whole story. I remember once avoiding a huge blowup and steering my 13-year-old towards flexibility and endurance with only two words. 🤯 I would have never thought to do this if I had been focused on her behavior. I'll share what I said, but first, I wanted to check in before we begin our 3-week series on communicating with kids who resist being controlled. Those sensitive, sassy, spirited kids... You know, the kids who are more reactive, more resistant, and sometimes more intense than you can handle. ➡️ In this class, we're moving past language that forces kids to "comply," and learning how to teach the exact skills that they're missing. It's not a behavior-fixing class. But we will slow down, look at language, power, and our nervous systems so that when your kids are:
—You'll know what to do without being harsh or controlling. I know live series are hard to commit to. Here's a quick rundown of what to know if you are thinking of joining. We start tomorrow, Tuesday, at 12:30pm EST. And if this isn't the right moment, registration will stay open so that you can join later if you decide. The series runs on Tuesdays: If you want to read more about the series and what we'll be exploring, you can find that here and here.

OR Oh, and those two words I used to prevent a blowup? I'll tell you more about how those simple words, which seemed completely unrelated to the situation, are exactly what developed the skills I wanted to see in my kid. I'm excited to hold this space and help you create new responses too And if you're not joining us, I'm glad you're still here, reading and thinking differently about how to communicate with kids. Talk soon! Warmly, |
