3-Day Parenting by Connection Challenge Starts Wednesday!
Starting today let's practice some parenting by connection tomorrow! Watch this 2 minute video called the Still Face Experiment that shows just how quickly and intensely children react to loss of connection.
In my Brain Science of Children's Emotions Workshop I discuss how we call this disconnection Limbic Hijack. Our child feels disconnected ---> their thinking brain goes offline ---> the limbic/emotional system takes over ---> and they act out! Off-track, unworkable, non-cooperative behavior or full blown meltdown!
Change begins with awareness! So our challenge this week is to notice when your child has gone into limbic hijack. That simple!
**Notice the Limbic Hijack and share your stories in the chat here. I will be! **
The more we are aware, the less triggered we will be! You don't have to do this alone, it was never meant to be.
**Note about shares: Use this like listening time: No advice, no fixing. Just listening with care and respect. Let's build safety and connection together!
