Ep 8080 Teaching or Telling. Know The Difference For Better Listening and Compliance!

Hey Friends, When we tell our kids to do things, we know what we expect they do. It is natural for us to think they understand the whole picture when they have demonstrated in the past, they can do it.

69 Can You Really Reparent Yourself? And When You Should Consider It.

Hey Friends, Do you ever wish that you could Re-Parent yourself? Well, you can it’s true. Many people come to adulthood and have some baggage from their upbringing. In fact, most everybody has some kind of experience that they brought with them to adulthood. Those traumatic or even "normal" experiences are not helping them be the best parent they want to be, nor it is helping them be the best human they want to be. Something lingers... even after you try to forget, forgive, and know it is done. I want you to know that: You can speak to that part of you that is still small, still young, and still growing. You can be the parent to yourself so you get what the little you needed. Always Cheering you on!!

Are You causing the confusion? We usually think we speak clearly. However, as adults, our tone and body language has lots of meaning embedded that causes what we say to not actually mean what we say. The younger our kids are, the more literal thinkers they are. Are we creating confusion when “Why did you do that?” is not actually a question? Cheering you on!
