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.
