Kids testing boundaries?
May 02, 2024
“Should we always treat our kids with kindness and support, no matter what they do or say?”
In this video, we dive into a topic that every parent grapples with: kids testing boundaries.
We discuss the challenging moments when our kids push limits and how we should respond to them.
Is constant kindness and support realistic? Should empathy and understanding be unconditional?
We all face those tough parenting moments when our kids are confrontational or are just getting under our skin and it's natural to wonder if we need to maintain a facade of “perfect” patience and understanding.
Whether you’re a new parent or have been in the trenches for years, we provide insights into managing and understanding our kid's boundary-testing behaviors. Let's dig in!
From our parenting toolkit:
Parenting can be overwhelming! It’s especially hard to show up as kind and empathetic, yet firm (think setting and maintaining boundaries) when we’re not regulated or in control of our emotions.
That's where our Regulated Parenting workshop comes in to transform you and your family's chaos into calm.
You’ll begin by developing the skills to self-regulate (think a calmer, happier you) and learn how to facilitate co-regulation with your kids (essentially lending your calm to them).
You’ll learn science-backed strategies and participate in application-based activities that'll help you show up as the calm and supportive parent that you want to be.
You can access the workshop in two convenient ways:
- Purchase it a-la-carte for $84
- Join the Happy Human Collective FREE for 7 days
- Membership is $28/month after the 7-day trial
- You can cancel anytime
Here’s some feedback we’ve gotten…
“I’ve taken several emotional regulation workshops before but none compare to this one! The organization and flow of the modules and the printables for the workshop were cherries on top. The content was unparalleled. Looking forward to digging into your other workshops! Thank you so much for putting this together!”
By putting in the work, you will quite literally shift your approach to parenting and become the calm and supportive parent that you want to be. Join us today!
