Recently I had the opportunity to chat with Barbara Hudson following her insightful Beyond the Behavior Event in January – and oh my, did we cover some additional gems for creating a peaceful home, including:
- Why we want to be the thermostat and not the thermometer for ourselves and our kiddos.
- How giving our kids the big picture “lay of the land” (in advance!) can result in a MUCH smoother day.
- How advance planning for challenging or transition times during our day can make what had been tough much easier.
- The impact of giving ourselves (and our children) grace and space.
Check it out:
We’d love to hear your thoughts! Any idea you’re going to try with your kiddos (or that you’ve tried and found works)? Please let us know in the comments below. And if you have a friend who’s been struggling with behaviors from their kiddo and this conversation could help, please feel free to share this post — it just might help their day. 🙂
thank you so much! I need to get back interviewing!
