Are you struggling with your child’s behavior? What if you looked at it from a different perspective...behavior as communication!

Society is constantly pushing us as parents, caregivers, and professionals to see a child's behavior as disobedience, disrespect, and defiance and something we should be using punishments, shame, and bribes to resolve when in reality...

 

Behavior is a main way your child is communicating with you, especially before your child is old enough to clearly articulate his/her feelings and has had more time practicing and learning how to regulate a little more effectively. 

 

This doesn't mean we don't address the behavior too, but it means identifying what is going on at a heart level and offering up empathy, love and understanding over a focus solely on obedience.

 

I would even go so far as to say, when your main goal as a parent is to gain obedience over everything else, there is likely some underlying patterning and conditioning that is forcing you to NEED control at all times.

 

The patterning and conditioning you come to parenting with also creates behavior in you that comes out when you are triggered; the same thing that is happening when your child is demonstrating behavior.

 

Tune in today as I dive more into this topic and share some practical ways you can begin to see behavior for what it really is....communication.
