Over the years, Jason and I have done over 250 interviews with top parenting authors, experts, and speakers. When people hear this, their first question tends to be:
“What is your BEST piece of parenting advice?”
I’m happy to share with you exactly what I tell them, but my answer might surprise you (and it might even kind of annoy you…).
I break it all down into 3 simple steps in this short video.
These 3 steps were originally taught to me by Dr. Roxy Manning, who teaches anti-racism, self-compassion, non-violent communication, and other wonderful classes.
Let me know what you think in the comment section below!
Yes, Denisse. Even if our child is doing something that we don’t want, figuring out our feelings is a good place to start, then we can start looking with curiosity at our child’s actions, while assuming that they are doing the best they can in that moment.
I like your advice! As parents we need to put our own in the children’s place and ask something like “are you okay? Do you need help? Have you noticed what time is it? Instead of reacting, accusing, yelling at them. Assuming they are not being responsible.
