Be your child's safe harbor! It's not misbehavior, but a still developing brain & body. Coregulating helps calm the storm, building regulation skills & emotional intelligence

Kids are trying to figure out how the world works and their place in it. They aren't purposely messing up! Positive guidance helps kids learn, gain confidence & feel good about themselves

It’s frustrating when kids blatantly lie. It’s part of normal development. Handling these early lies helps kids learn if it is safe to tell the truth. Stay calm & connected, consider the why of the lie, then support sharing the truth.

What to we do with those big emotions - especially when it's right in the middle of the grocery store! By LEAPing to Connection we gain understanding and turn difficulties into opportunity for connection.

Taking a deep breath & responding with love & compassion, rather than anger, let's kids know mistakes happen and how to fix them. They become empowered to handle problems and difficult situations.

It's all about connection! When we feel connected, we feel safe, loved, & understood. Kids too! We best guide thru connection.

It can be scary raising children with all we see unfolding around us. But we are raising the dragon slayers! We unapologetically raise children with the strength and ability to do what's right, and in so doing, slay the dragons standing in the way of creating a world that works for all.

When we reframe kid's limit testing to understanding it’s a need for reassurance, it gives us a more positive perspective & connected relationship with our kids.
