No More “Fight or Flight” Parenting
Parents…it’s time to communicate. 𝐍𝐨 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 “𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭” 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠. 🚫
Effective communication is when the person sending a message makes it clear and easy to understand, and the person receiving understands the message as the sender intended. In the real world, especially in families, this is not always easy to do.
𝘚𝘖, here are some tips to help you communicate more effectively with your child!👇
🔹 𝘜𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴
🔹 𝘈𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨
🔹 𝘓𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥, 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦
🔹 𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘥𝘢𝘺
Creating communication habits will only make it easier for your child to understand you, and you to understand them! They’ll be way more likely to come to you with a problem; and your relationship will grow much stronger.
