Hi everyone gardening brings me my inner peace when I'm struggling from the day. so out of passion i love helping others find that peace also We have finished and launched some really interactive and useful tools for everyone to use. A soil builder and trouble shooter....and my favorite is the Compost tea lab...... New or experienced there is something for us all to learn from what's packed inside. hopefully these tool could help some of you green thumbs out there. id be happy to shar them with anyone who may be interested😀

hello thanks for having me
Figured I'd skip the standard intro and just drop a quick technique that’s been a massive game-changer for building trust with my kids. ​In our house, we use a specific verbal anchor phrase: honest to God. It sounds simple, but the rule is we only use it when absolute, unbreakable honesty is on the table. If I say it to my kids, they know I'm leveling with them 100%. More importantly, if they say it to me, I know they are telling me the absolute truth, and they know it creates a safe space without fear of an immediate freak-out. ​It cuts through the noise and immediately shifts the dynamic when we need to be real with each other. Hopefully this will help someone in here. ​Anyway, I'm really looking forward to learning from this group.

@Kayla Dixon thank you!!!
Hot take 🔥
Okay parents… let’s talk about this: Not every tantrum needs a consequence. Sometimes it needs connection. 👀 Agree or disagree? Drop one of these below: - 💯 = Yes, connection first. - ⚖️ = Both matter equally. - 🚫 = Nope, consequences teach best. Then tell me WHY. Let’s unpack it together: - When do you lean into connection? - When do you hold the boundary? - What’s hardest for you in those heated moments? Parenting is hard… especially when emotions are loud (theirs and ours 😅). But learning when to regulate first and when to reinforce expectations is a game changer.

perspective is key in my personal opinion. each situation should be handles as its own event and the perspective we come into the situation has to be neutral from the start. If a court was being held against you and the jury was full of people who had a preconceived notion one way or the other woukd that be a fair trial? I assume we would all want a neutral party to "judge us" so it is only fair you come in as neutral, yes evidence may be stacked against them from the start. but we all should be allowed our day in court even our kids. now if you ask did you hit Jimmy and Sally says no but you saw it happen. Thats when you teach them their are conquences for their actions and lying is a 0 tolerance area period thats a different question tho. dont mean to ramble just very passionate.

@Kayla Dixon I also started to throw a fit when my kids did not like over the top but whenever their energy was meet with energy of equal intensity it seemed to at least break the cycle of the fit long enough to try and help them understand its sill when dad does it so dont you think you look silly also?
