I do this when they’ve accomplished something great, not over the little things. If we tell them they’re smart constantly and they can’t do something, more tantrums could occur, at the same time if you guide them through it, this won’t happen regularly. It’s all about letting them do as much as they can, if not everything within what they’re doing. Once they get stuck and ask for help, motivate and encourages them and say you’re capable of this. If they truly can’t, then he’ll and demonstrate it to them, and see if they can do it by themselves. If they still can’t, then help them complete it and say you’re proud of how hard you worked towards that. That you’re proud of their commitment and very smart. I don’t believe we shouldn’t tell them they’re smart, especially when they’re doing something great. If we don’t show them how proud we are of them, they will strive for more, but then they may get caught in this loop of always trying to impress, and are left with this feeling that they are not good enough. What is said in this video might work for some, yet to me.. they could believe that they need to work hard their whole life and that they’re not smart enough. If they have the belief that they’re smart, capable, magnificent and powerful, I feel they’re achieve more. Also teaching them that they will need to work for it, yet make work your passion, and if they “fail” it’s really just showing them what didn’t work and will lead them down the path of success. There’s so many ways to help a child in their development, yet the most effective way is to allow them to feel confident, by making them know how great they truly are. If they don’t believe in themselves, they won’t go too far in life. They need to feel confident by being competent. This is achieved by guidance until they can do it by themselves. They won’t know how to do it, until they’ve witnessed it. Be an example, letting them experience and see their own parents doing it, then let them have a go. #fatherhood #parenthood #parentingtips | Immerse in earth

In fact, showing up calm and collected to our kids’ triggering behavior has been our greatest struggle as parents of 4 young kids over the past 12 years. We’ve been pulling a LOT of levers to lower our baseline emotional temperatures, but one thing in particular has helped us release SO MUCH bound up stress so we can better show up as the models that our kids need us to be. It’s a science-backed protocol (supported by over 200 peer-reviewed studies) that has led to some of the most transformative changes that we’ve ever seen within ourselves. And the best part, it takes only 15 MINUTES A WEEK.  It’s not an easy 15 minutes, though. You’ll likely cry (especially during the first session or two), but that’s the tension leaving your body. We’ll teach you the protocol and help you put it into practice within our ‘Release the Stress’ workshop.  And the good news… It’s currently on sale for only $15. But the sale ends THIS WEEK! Head to our link in bio or comment “STRESS” (and make sure you’re following us) to access the sale. We actually just started another round of the protocol ourselves, so come join us! 🙂 We’re here if you have any questions. 🌎 happyhumanlife.org/stress ❤️ Jenilee & Greg ✨We’re husband and wife, parents of four, doing our best to use science-backed strategies to grow into the best parents and partners we can be. 🎓 Greg is a doctor of psychology, Jenilee is a pediatric occupational therapist, and we hope you consider joining us on our journey. 🙂 ➡️ @happy.human.life | Happy Human Life
