When it comes to saying no to your kid, remember: we're allowed to say no AND your kid is allowed to be upset.
After all, parents’ boundaries don’t dictate kids’ feelings - and kids’ feelings don’t dictate our boundaries.
Use these scripts to say no - with firmness and warmth.
Parenting is hard... for everyone.
All of us have had bad days. All of us have felt overwhelmed.
All of us have questioned if we are good parents.
Here's the thing: Good parents go through "turbulence" and it isn't a sign you're doing anything wrong.
How do we respond when someone says, “You’re going to let them get away with that?!” or “You need to punish them! How will they ever learn right from wrong?”
In these moments, the only thing you need to focus on is yourself.
When we are willing to explore tricky topics with our kids, we stimulate a thought process inside our children, and there's nothing that teaches children how to reflect and be thoughtful as, well, the experience of reflecting and being thoughtful.
Gratitude relies on reflection.
A friend comes over and instead of sitting and enjoying each other's company with your children happily playing in the yard, you are managing grabbing, screaming, crying, and lots of "It's mine!"
Check out this reel for why I actually think it’s okay for our kids not to share.
Your kid yells, "Get out of my room! Leave me alone!"
Wonder what they really mean in those moments? This is the reel for you.
Thinking, "Yup, that's my kid. Pushes me away anytime big feelings are involved." Check out the link below.

It’s impossible to not have feelings. We are all living human beings with feelings coursing through our bodies. Feelings make us alive. They’re not a choice.
Here’s a powerful truth: When we doubt our kids' feelings, they doubt their own feelings.
If your home is like mine, then you get into these Groundhog Day stages where your child is engaging in the same difficult behavior over and over again.
The hitting won’t stop, the sibling arguments are out of control, the rudeness persists day after day… what can we do?
