Would you like to be a confident leader in your home?

Have you ever felt like as soon as you get a handle on something in parenting...the game changes and you're back to trying to figure it out?  It's a part of the parenting journey and for me, it's happened over and over again. 
I remember feeling like that when my kids were little and I would finally get a grasp on nap times and bedtimes...only to have my kids grow and change and what worked before didn't seem to work again. 

How about trying to motivate a kid?
*A sticker chart?      Nope... those only worked for a few days, or maybe a a few weeks. 
*Taking away their favorite things... hmmm, sure fire way to get a meltdown started.
*Hitting my frustration tolerance and raising my voice?    No good, that leaves me and my child feeling bad.

Of course we could talk about addressing challenging behaviors...
Maybe you're finding your tools aren't working as well as they used to.
Maybe what works for your friend's kids, or your sister's kids just doesn't seem to work with your unique child. ​

Tired of the Yelling!

Yelling!  It's a tool used day in and day out by parents and kids... but we know it's not the best tool.  As parents, we get tired of feeling like we need to raise our voices to get our kids to listen.  Our kids, of course, get tired of being yelled at, but they also get trained to not really listen and take action until the yelling starts.  It's almost like their brain is saying "I hear ya, but I don't think you really mean it... yet". 
Our yelling, by accident, teaches our kids that yelling is the way to get things done.  We're teaching it in the most powerful way, by our example.   
Ouch!  Now we have parents AND kids yelling.   


If this is happening in your home, you're not alone.  But, what can we do to break this cycle?
