Growing up in the 90's we played outside in the Summer heat. -Opened the fire hydrant -Played freeze tag -Had water balloon fights Many kids today will never have those fun, physical experiences. The real world has always had dangers...but today it's on a different level. What's something you wish your kid could experience...but doubt that they ever will?

Many parents make the mistake of telling their little child "you talk too much." Saying that might get kids to be quiet for now, but that's short-term thinking. In the teenage years, parents often wonder "why won't my kid talk to me?" Have you considered it's because the child has grown to feel like their voice doesn't matter? How would you feel if someone gave a constant reminder of how annoying you are? I invite you to try this instead: Let your child know that you value their thoughts and their voice is important. Then tell them to give you some quiet time to reflect on all the wonderful things they just shared. This keeps the child's confidence intact, and parents still get some quiet time. --- If you haven't heard by now...

That's what a mom asked me out of frustration and confusion. This mom tried everything she knew to console her daughter but nothing seemed to work. Her daughter kept saying: "Mommy, I'm sad." And when the mom asked, “What’s wrong?” Her daughter would say: “I don’t know. I’m just sad.” That’s hard for a parent. Because when your child is hurting, you want to fix it. But how do you fix it when they can’t even explain what’s wrong? So instead of focusing on the sadness only...we looked deeper to find the core cause. I asked the mom a few questions, and after listening to her answers I noticed a few patterns. Her daughter is what I call a "Sensitive Soul" child. These kids feel emotions deeply. They crave warmth, connection, and emotional intimacy. I also noticed that the mom just had a new baby. Before the baby came, her daughter had been the only child. Her daughter was getting all of mom's attention, cuddles, conversations, and little moments of connection. But now, the baby needed mom too. This 3 year old daughter didn't know what she needed. She didn't know how to express what she was feeling other than to say "Mommy, I'm sad". And this reveals the importance of understanding your child on a deeper than surface level. Because sometimes their actions aren't the core problem. Sometimes their actions are a signal of something beneath the surface. And when you understand the signal, you can respond with more wisdom. I suggested to the mom, that she spend more one-on-one time with her daughter. Even if it's just once per day - or once per week. She took that advice, implemented it, and now her daughter doesn't say "Mommy, I'm sad" as much as she once did. --- If you can relate to this and you want help understanding what's happening beneath the surface of your situation...comment HELP or send me a DM and I'll show you how I can help.

That's what a mom said as we talked about her son's bad behavior in school. I asked this mom a few questions and quickly realized how much she kept comparing him to other kids. Then I asked her, "how would you feel if he compared you to other parents?" She didn't like that. But it's good to have someone on your side that's not a "yes man", who just validates everything you say and do. As we talked a little more she said something that surprised herself... She said, "as I'm listening to myself speak, I don't sound like a very nice mom". She said, "I'm starting to think that maybe I'm the problem." That realization is what changed the trajectory of her parenting approach and relationship with her son. Can you relate to this? Did your parents constantly compare you to others? Are you confused by your kid's bad behavior?
