Ep 85. Simple Ways to Connect with Your Kids

In today's episode I want to give you a few simple ideas for how you can connect with your children. These can be used in the moment when your child is having big emotions and they're being defiant or they can also be used as a preventative measure.

When our kids are having big emotions, we often want to jump right to the communication part and we want to just reason and not connect with them.  I think part of that connection is empathy: our children need to know that they are seen and valued, and that their emotions matter. It doesn't mean that their behavior or emotions are appropriate, it just means that we are going to validate their feelings.  

So, if you are ready add some new connection ideas to your tool bet, you're in the right place.
