There's always a clue behind the angst - but have we got time to explore it?

One little micro-change in how you respond to your kids will take you on a trajectory towards good relationship: Where there is understanding there can be empathy - Where there is empathy there is connection.

It's easy when you know how.  The alternative? - missing the vital clues and teaching our kids to keep their feelings to themselves - that causes disconnect!!

Nobody wants that. 

Come and explore...

Last week we looked at WHY we should keep boundaries in place. This week we look at HOW we can do that without raised volume and harsh tone...and how we can stay empowered and teach our children empowerment - not overpowerment!  It's powerful

Our children are defensive and argumentative when they feel they're in the wrong. Why? Because often, being wrong is not acceptable at home. It equals failure, shame, embarrassment; they liken going wrong to being wrong. Parents can then get into an unhealthy loop of backing down and letting the child win - for a quiet life. But what consequences does that have for the child's self esteem later in life?

Let's chat about money.

Though, it's never really about the money.

It's about expectations, needs vs desires, borrowing and lending, saving and giving.

Money taps into so many other issues that come from the perspectives they form when they're small.

Money is a great tool for growing and influencing our children to have a healthy heart when it comes to generosity and wisdom.

Is your word pure gold?

Or do you feel it's bouncing off them?

Is your influence beginning to fade as they get older?

This week, I’m going to share an easy way to help your kids value your words, no matter what age they are. I'll share a simple way to ensure that you're not falling into common parent traps that make your kids ignore your words.

I'll also share how some common parent-responses can switch them off and even unsettle them. 

Do people tell you it's normal for parents to get ignored? 

It doesn't have to be!

Do you ever wish your kids were more appreciative? I don't mean learning the word 'Thank you', but the actual heart-felt issue of feeling grateful for the little things and the big things? Is it possible to create that heart-sense?

Yes, it is!

This week we look at three ways to raise the gratitude levels in your home.
