First of all, nothing is wrong with you. Nothing is wrong with your child. And: you’re not “doing it wrong.” Kids who tend to have out of proportion reactions to small events are what I call Deeply Feeling Kids. These kids are the most misunderstood children: often labeled “dramatic” or “oppositional”…

The first thing to do when bringing up a child is not to touch your children, not to influence their minds with your distorted minds.

If you have a child who's constantly saying, "no," it may be difficult to find a compromise. Especially if they have ADHD. Here are 5 steps to try so you can respond more effectively.

Our negative feelings have something to teach us, explains emotional intelligence expert Brittney-Nichole Connor-Savarda.

We Nurture | Waldorf Inspired Parenting on Instagram: "Why can't you listen? Why do I have to tell you the same thing over and over again? You're making me angry! Your behavior is so disappointing! What your child needs most from you is for you to be their number encourager, not harshest critic. Children are burdened by harsh words, words that make them feel like they are less than, actually less than their potential which they are just beginning to explore as they grow and develop.

Wired For Wellbeing on Instagram: "If you are spanking, pinching, screaming at, criticizing and raging at your child for THEIR dysregulation - your first job is to learn how to regulate yourself. How unfair is it to expect a child to manage their emotions and behaviors more maturely when you cannot even manage your own? When a 4 year olds push back sends YOU over the edge? You’ve had decades more experience practicing self regulation. And YOU still struggle! “I spanked him because he…

Words and actions matter. Disrespecting a child doesn’t just hurt their feelings, it can impact their confidence, trust, and emotional well-being for life.

"Just like us, children have bad days. Days when they're tired, not feeling well, lose their temper, or are emotional for no reason. This doesn't make them bad, it makes them human." ~ Sarah Boyd

When your child says “NO!” to your direct request, defiance is RARELY at play. There are a ton of reasons why your kid may default to “no,” and your parenting style WILL drive your child’s response.

📌It does not teach the lesson what we are trying to convey. 📌It can make your child fearful to you and we want our kids to behave well because they respect us, not because they're afraid. 📌Rather than teaching our kids more positive alternative behaviors, spanking merely teaches them how to avoid getting caught. 📌It may also teach kids that an effective response to feeling angry is to become aggressive. And some kids misbehave to gain attention.
