| It's time for more FREE resources for our parent community... |
|
Greetings Friend, thanks for signing up for my newsletter. I have been busy with some parenting events like workshops on curbing entitlement with gratitude practices and trainings on how to set limits that stick... and realized I haven't been letting you all know what is going on.
I want to begin by asking what you would like to see. What are your parenting struggles, issues or needs? I would love to hear from you! (Email me, okay?)
I will also be sending more strategies and helpful parenting tips in a weekly digest. September's theme is... Reestablishing Routines for a Smooth Start to the School Year and we have several free events and resources for you! Whether you are learning locally or online, we have a way for you to join us. But first, a hot tip!
TIP ALERT: How to set a limit that sticks, step one...
You need to GET REALLY CLEAR AND SPECIFIC about what you want when you are making a request of a child. "Don't run" is much less effective than "Use your walking feet." Why? Because the children hear "RUN" and what do they picture doing? Running!
When we say "WALKING FEET," they picture slowing down and walking with their feet. When we are clear and specific about what we DO WANT, it sets them up for more success.
Recently, I had a client tell me that she used to say, "Go get ready," to her 3-year-old, and he would ignore her. But when she shifted to clear and specific requests, he listened better. "It's time to go inside, find your shoes, bring them to the door, sit down and put them on."
Repeating yourself over and over is very frustrating! The key here is... Be careful not to assume that what we want is OBVIOUS to our children. Try it today- be more clear and concrete with your words, and try not to assume that they already know what you want.
If you have any questions on any events or suggestions for the newsletter please do email me. I'd love to hear from you.
Love, Vanessa |
| | Our next event is a masterclass on September 11th about reestablishing smooth routines. This is where almost all of our online learning happens, in the Raising Our Resilience Parent Group on Facebook! With weekly tips and events, it's fun and inspiring to learn together. So this is an EASY way to have access to all kinds of trainings, resources, and community.
Our dedication: "We are a community of parents raising our resilience as we build lifelong relationships with our children based on appreciation, respect, and love. We empower ourselves, our children, and our community with healthy strategies so that in our busy lives, we can stay kind, confident, and connected and enjoy the limited time we have with our children."
