SELF REGULATION 

 

The Peace in Peaceful Parent begins in you.  It is a commitment to regulating your own emotions first, so that you can turn to your child and respond to the need they are showing you.  By doing so, you teach your child how to manage their own emotions.  A simple idea, but a life long practice.  Parenting Peacefully takes more than commitment and practice.  You need tools.  The tools are what keep you from yelling and punishing when you get upset.  This is the hardest part of parenting.  It is also the most important and the key to creating more peace and joy in your family and your life!

CONNECTION

 

Connection creates cooperation.  Connection is the sweetness in parenting and what makes it all worthwhile.  Connection is really the only influence we have to get our children to do what we want them to do.  Children only act out when they feel disconnected. When our child is not cooperative, we know to focus on creating more connection. The beauty is that love and connection grow and continue to deepen our relationship with our child through the teen years and into adulthood.

COACHING

 

Coach instead of Control. Yes, all children need empathetic limits.  When we accept our child's emotions and set empathetic limits on their behavior, children learn that they may not always get what they want, but they get something better - a parent who is on their side, is there to guide them and loves them no matter what.  When we coach instead of control, children are much more willing to comply.  Research shows that coaching is much more effective than punishment and instills an inner moral compass.
