Discipline doesn't always have to be negative. I Discipline doesn't always have to be negative. 

It's easy for us to forget that sometimes!

But one of the best ways to deal with misbehavior is to focus on the positive aspects of what your kids are doing.

When we use negative responses such as "Stop whining!" or "I can't hear you when you whine," then we give all of our attention to the behavior that we don't want to see repeated.

✨For our little ones and those with speech and language delays, we need to be very direct in teaching them effective communication.

Here's another example:

🔹Instead of saying, "No iPad until you get your pajamas on!"

🔹Try saying, "When you get your pajamas on, then you can go on your iPad."

See how that feels different?

In emphasizing the positive, you give your attention to the behaviors that you want to see repeated.

"Because we are always parenting our children, it "Because we are always parenting our children, it takes real effort to look at our discipline strategies objectively.

Good intentions can be replaced by less-than-effective habits quickly, and that can leave us operating blindly, disciplining in ways that might not bring out our best - or the best in our children."

- Dr. Dan Siegal (No Drama Discipline)

Don't be too hard on yourself - this parenting gig is HARD!

Even the most well-intentioned, well-informed parents make these mistakes!!

✨Give youself a break.

✨Love your kids.

✨Set clear boundaries.

✨Discipline with love and understanding.

✨Apologize and make amends when you mess up.

How do I make the whining STOP?!?! I know that fe How do I make the whining STOP?!?!

I know that feeling all too well. That nails on a chalkboard sound that drives you bananas!

Kids whine for a variety of different reasons. 

Before trying to handle the behavior directly, it’s important to make sure that one of these two things are not the culprit…

🔹Hunger
🔹Tiredness

If your child is tired or hungry, then you can bet that whining WILL happen. Heck, I whine when I’m hungry or tired too!

Besides being hungry or tired, lack of connection is by far the biggest contributing factor toward whining.

A child who feels disconnected from his parents will turn to whining to gain attention and power. 

This may be the only way they know how to do that. It doesn’t matter if it’s positive or negative attention; they’ll take any and all of it!

This is why connecting with your child is the absolute best way to prevent whining.

But what do we do IN THE MOMENT?

The thing is, whining isn’t something we can physically control.

We can block a hit or grab a child’s hand who starts running away from you, but we can’t physically stop a child from whining.

✨Focus on what you CAN control….

Your response to the whining.

A child will continue to do what works for him. If you give in to his whiny request, then he’ll do it again next time.

Remain calm, allow a re-do to use his big strong voice, and ignore further whining (but not the child).

Want your kids to listen better? Be brief! Pare Want your kids to listen better? 

Be brief!

Parents often feel they need to point out what their kids did wrong and try to give them a lesson on why it's wrong and what they need to do differently next time right there in the heat of the moment.

I 100% FEEL THIS.

We don't want to feel like our child is "getting away with it."

The problem is, our toddlers don't have the capacity to take in all that information, ESPECIALLY when their downstairs (emotional) brain is triggered.

Yes, it's important to address the issue and teach a lesson, but timing absolutely matters. ⏰

In the heat-of-the-moment,, we simply need to address the issue briefly and MOVE ON.

Here are 4 steps you can follow:

1) Acknowledge the FEELING behind the behavior

"I see you're feeling frustrated. It's hard to wait while I help your brother, isn't it!?"

2) Set a limit

"I can't let you hit me."

3) Give alternatives

"You can tap me on the shoulder like this when you need my attention." (demonstrate)

4) Move on

"Hey, let's go see if those if those butterflies are still flying around outside!"

When we address the behavior briefly and move on, we avoid giving too much attention to the unwanted behavior. 

Once everyone is calm and your child's upstairs (thinking) brain comes back online, THEN we can sit down and have a discussion, teach our lessons, and give them the skills and tools to make a better decision next time.

BE the things you want them to be. 👉You want BE the things you want them to be. 

👉You want them to be kind? Be kind to them.

👉You want them to be patient? Be patient with them.

👉You want them to be respectful? Respect them.

Yes, it would be SO much easier to TELL them to be all these things and teach them how to do it.

Explicit teaching DOES have it's place.

However, the BEST teacher is your actions.

Before you try to figure out the best way to teach them a concept, characteristic, or behavior, think about what YOU can do to model it.

✨How can I demonstrate kindness?

✨How can I show them respect?

✨How can I exercise patience?

"Do as I say, not as I do," doesn't cut it anymore 💁‍♀️
