When correcting kids backfires on us.


Reader—

I recently mentioned that it isn't "better behavior" that we're really after, and I wanted to explain what I meant (because I've been there too).

Here's the difficult truth ➡️
We rarely feel better after correcting our kids' "bad" behavior.

We're told to "nip it in the bud."
Address it fast.
Don't let them get away with it.

But do you ever notice what happens after you do?

The room might be quieter for a moment, but inside we still feel irritated, unseen, or flat-out exhausted.

And sure, we want the house to be orderly, we want to get to school on time, and we want to feel respected, acknowledged, and considered.

But here's the wall we keep running into —
Controlling behavior doesn't give us what we're really craving.

But good news!

There's a slight shift that doesn't involve fixing "bad" behavior. It changes how you show up, so you stop carrying resentment and start feeling lighter in your own home.

📺 Here's something you can do fast to make real changes (instead of replaying in your head every outrageous thing your child has ever said to you).

Oh, and don't get me wrong...
Our kids CAN contribute to this shift, they just can't be held responsible for it.

And please remember, it's about being conscious, not perfect!
