Hey Mama-Friend!
Quick Question: Is how we respond to our kids when they ask us something important?
Yes. Absolutely.
Sometimes, I think we forget that our kids’ behaviors are actually happening because of how we handle situations, as adults, or even how we respond to our kids. We have a bigger impact on their behavior than we might think.
In this particular episode, we are diving into the response of saying, “I don’t care” to our kids when they ask us if they can do something. Now, we may not care, but is it really beneficial to respond with, “I don’t care”?
Here’s something to think about. How many times have you responded with, “I don’t care,” but then moments later, realize that you actually do care, and you are taking back what you said in the first place? Or maybe you’re yelling at your kids to stop what they are doing because they “took advantage of you”?
We have to get into the habit of putting effort into our responses, so that our kids are clear on our expectations. When they are clear on expectations, with little gray area, they are more likely to listen. Our kids need to know that we are invested in them, in their health and well-being, which is why we are diving into alternative ways to respond to your kids, rather than saying, “I don’t care.”
How do you let your kids know that you don’t mind them doing things, while still letting them know that there are boundaries in place? I’d love to know!
Thanks for listening!
Michelle
