[VIDEO] FInd common ground with family when you don't agree.

Reader,

If you fall back on old reactive habits of control, please know it's totally normal. It's hard not to judge ourselves or blame our kids when this happens. 😔

🙌🏻 Choosing to let go of control and force is a brave step (and super complicated).

Remember, you're not just building your child's skills but also expanding your own tolerance. That's not easy to do in a society that is conditioned to judge parenting and think punitively about child-rearing.

Do you ever hear yourself saying things like this...

"My partner criticizes my parenting, and it really makes me doubt myself. They don't want to repair things."

"My friends don't understand why I don't punish my kids, and it feels like they're judging me for it."

"I try to explain the brain science to my partner, but they don't seem to be on the same page, and it's causing a lot of tension."

"My family often gives unsolicited advice about my parenting, and it feels like no matter what I do, they always think they know better."

No wonder you feel isolated or unsure of your choices. That stress alone can push you to your breaking point - throwing self-awareness out the window!

When you're doing the best you can for your kids, but what you're getting from your support system is:

unsolicited advice
judgment
criticism
conflict

It's easy to revert to whatever strategy makes you feel in control (and yes, sometimes that is yelling, punishing, threatening, etc.).

While there aren't always "quick fixes" to major disagreements, there is something you can do to try to find common ground in your family relationships.

Sneak in two minutes to watch this video for tips to help you:

Present a united front to your kids and avoid misunderstandings.
Share your concerns without judging someone else's choices.
Respond compassionately when your partner (or other family member) feels you're undermining their authority.

Want to build your confidence AND set a fantastic example of personal boundaries and empathy for your kids?

👉🏻 Watch to learn what you can say the next time things feel tense!

One day at a time. You got this!
