Do you want your child to always feel safe enough to come to you, no matter what mistakes they've made? Are you sometimes unsure how to react when your child disappoints you, without resorting to punishment or judgment?
Today, we're diving deep into the power of being your child's "safe place." Research tells us this is the most crucial thing we can do for our children, especially in adolescence. When children feel safe and connected, their brains are better equipped for good decision-making and impulse control. And guess what! The fastest way to make our children feel unsafe is in a home where they fear us.
I'll share a personal story about my daughter Pia admitting to cheating, and how my calm, empathetic response strengthened our connection, allowing her to take responsibility without shame. We'll explore how to convey unconditional love, even when behavior is challenging, by staying calm, connected, and neutral. It’s about building a foundation where your child knows your love isn't dependent on their behavior or achievements. If you're ready to create a haven of unconditional love and trust in your home, hit play!
