I understand that learning empathy can be a challenging journey, especially if it's not something that was modeled for us in our own upbringing. However, I've learned that empathy is a crucial component of creating a strong connection with our children. That means being present with them, especially during times of big emotions, listening with an open heart, and truly hearing what they have to say. If we can do that, we have the power to turn those moments into opportunities for connection, and that can make all the difference.Join my new Connected Parent Mastermind designed for parents who want to strengthen their connection with their children, experience more love, and reduce frustration.

When a child starts hitting, kicking, or becoming aggressive, our initial reaction is often to punish them. However, punishing a child by sending them to time out, taking away their favorite activity, or grounding them for a weekend, does not effectively teach them right from wrong. I believe that no punishment can teach them because they already know what they did was wrong.What’s going on in these circumstances is that their prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for reasoning, is not fully developed yet, making it difficult for them to make sound decisions, which happens as adults too. Today I’ll share with you what you can do when aggressive behavior shows up in your kids.Enjoy today’s episode?

Araminta was struggling with her child's behavioral issues when she discovered Peace and Parenting, which proved to be a lifesaver for her.

With this knowledge, Araminta is now better prepared to deal with her son's tantrums and intense feelings without becoming upset herself. She has discovered a method for remaining calm and collected in difficult circumstances.Join my new Connected Parent Mastermind designed for parents who want to strengthen their connection with their children, experience more love, and reduce frustration.

As parents, it's natural for us to want our child's bad behavior to stop. But we must remember that kids will act in childish ways because that's just what they are – kids.
