The greatest barrier to parents actually creating the lives they want to live and create the family relationships they desire is the willingness to stop focusing on all the other people and what the other people around them have to change and instead focusing on themselves.
Kids need parents who are able to keep their cool, especially when they themselves cannot.
Most parenting books are focused on your child and how to change their behavior, not looking to you to focus on yours. We expect some magic cure to solve all kinds of behavior, when in fact we are the ones contributing to the behavior we are so frustrated with. When we react to our kids instead of respond we are in for more than we bargain for.
Take a listen today to see how you can make the first step towards positively impacting your behavior as well as your children’s behavior by taking charge of your own behavior.
How are you acting like the ‘adult’ in your home?
