EP 11 - Are you losing your cool with your kids because you're too nice?

HELLO PARENTS!  You’re irritability with your kids might be at an all time high right now – this past year has been super challenging and our patience in general has been tested to the max.

Add behavior problems to your already stressed out life and it’s no wonder you’re losing your cool!

A good majority of my coaching clients this past year have come to me with this problem – and they are trying their best to keep their cool and not react

But here’s the deal. The root of the "flying off the handle" problem is almost always because these parents have been too nice!  Sounds like an oxymoron, right?

Listen in as I share how being too nice and not allowing natural or logical consequences to happen, not following through with the little things because you just want to keep the peace can cause you to blow up in the long run.

EP 9 - Consequences vs Punishment - Allow your child to learn from their mistakes

Hello Parents! Consequences are meant to teach kids how to deal with and overcome problems they've created.  There's no need to "rub salt in the wound" once your child has made right what they did wrong.

No-Problem Parents understand that problems are meant to be dealt with and overcome and that the best way to teach your child "a lesson" is to allow them to own their problems or misbehavior and to solve the problem themselves.  Our job as the parent is to guide them as they make mistakes throughout their childhood and we can do so with empathy even when we are super frustrated, disappointed or hassled by the misbehavior. 

In today's episode I share the "Make it Right Technique" which can be used when your child has hurt or caused a problem for someone else.  And, you can model this technique by using it for yourself, in your daily life when you have hurt or caused a problem for your child or someone else!

Here's a link to the FREE MAKE IT RIGHT PDF, and here's a link to schedule a call with me if you'd like a real life example of how you can use the technique: Jaci's Calendar

EP 4 What is Reactive Attachment Disorder - Part 1

Hello Parents! In today's episode, Part 1 - What is Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), I share how learning about the diagnosis in 1993 shifted my career path from serving children with special abilities to supporting kids with mental health diagnosis and their parents. 

This episode just barely touches on the diagnosis and is definitely a brief introduction of what can happen when infants and toddlers experience early life trauma or separation from their primary caregivers.

And, there are many children that have a rough start in life that do not develop these symptoms so this episode does not intend to diagnosis your child's behavior.   

I'm sharing my experiences with the diagnosis in hopes that any parent (or child) that feels misunderstood, has tried everything, has been pushed to an emotional limit or has been blamed (or is shaming themselves) due to their child's behavior and/or how they are responding to their child's behavior; that they will find hope and support.

In Part 2 I'll share more symptoms that children with Reactive Attachment Disorder or trauma disorders can display and I'll share a few tips and resources on how to respond to and help children who are truly afraid to trust their caregivers.

When we seek first to understand why our children are behaving the way they are and when we prepare ourselves for "the worst", we can respond as the confident leaders our kids crave us to be.  

To learn more about Reactive Attachment Disorder and to find clinical support for your child go to https://attach.org/

To learn more about how to become a No-Problem Parent™ go to https://www.noproblemparents.com/

And please share this episode with the people in your community.  Too often children with this diagnosis appear to be just fine to their extended family and community while their parents are judged and looked down upon for how they discipline their kids.  Don't assume it is the parents fault, especially if you knew the parents to be kind and loving people before they had children.  Children with Reactive Attachment Disorder often reserve their toughest behaviors for their parents and can "hold it together" in front of others.  Parents raising these children need our support and understanding so please learn more about why the parent is frustrated or hurting and then support the child -  by supporting the parent.

 

Hugs and High Fives,

Jaci
