Want your kids to listen without nagging?

Hello, Happy Human! 👋

If you feel like you're always nagging at your kids to clean up, listen, and follow through, this week's 3TT is for you!

So, here are our weekly 3 things...

1️⃣ A question from our community

2️⃣ Our actionable tips

3️⃣ A resource from our toolkit

1. The question

“I feel like I’m always nagging my kids to clean up, listen, and just follow through. I don’t want to be a critical parent, but it’s like they don’t even hear me unless I get that way. Help!”

2. Our answer

Oh yeah… we get it.

You see the mess, the disobedience, all of the unfinished tasks, and it’s almost instinctive to call it out. 

But here’s the thing…

When we get critical, it puts our kids on the defensive. So, instead of barking orders, ENGAGE FIRST.

For example… 

I recently walked by my kids’ playroom and it was an absolute mess. 

My gut reaction was to say something like, “How can you even play in here!? You need to clean this up now!”

But instead, I bit my tongue, took a breath, and JOINED IN ON THEIR PLAY.

And the result? 

After some laughs and much-needed connection, we paused play and cleaned up the playroom together (with NO fight).

✔ Connection makes them want to listen.

✔ Connection makes them feel safe taking direction.

✔ Connection means you’re teaching instead of just commanding.

So next time you feel a criticism on the tip of your tongue… PAUSE. 

Make the intentional choice to enter THEIR WORLD first. 

You might be surprised at how much easier the listening part becomes.

3. From our toolkit

But let’s be real… 

Staying calm enough to make that intentional choice to connect over criticize is HARD… especially when we’re running on empty (like we typically are). 

That’s why we built our 12-Week Family Reset Program around a science-backed therapy that:

✅ Retunes your nervous system so you stay regulated (even in chaos)

✅ Releases stress so frustration doesn’t build up and spill over

✅ Strengthens co-regulation so your kids calm down with you

✅ Breaks reactive cycles so you’re not stuck in the same fights

✅ Creates more ease and joy within your home and relationships

This revolutionary therapy only takes 30 minutes a week of passive listening. That’s it. 

And the best part? Your kids can do it too!

We’ve seen HUGE shifts in ourselves (and our kids) using this therapy… and we want that change for you and your family!
