Do you want to gain more immediate obedience when you give your child a direction? Learn how to set and hold a limit with connection.

Truthfully, I LOVE to use play to get cooperation from my kids, particularly when it is a task they don’t want to do or are struggling to accomplish (like brushing teeth, changing clothes, etc.) and/or when I have less energy, patience and capacity for a large meltdown.

 

However, there is one strategy I haven’t shared a lot on yet that I think is vital in the growing obedience of our children.

 

I have heard a lot of people dinging gentle parenting lately, and while I believe I share more connection focused parenting I do think it falls under the gentle parenting umbrella, and I think it’s because a lot of people see it as being passive.

 

I believe it is just the opposite. Recognizing that there are limits that need to be set and boundaries that need to be held, but that it is actually possible to do it in a calm and connected way.

 

I also think that as parents try to learn how to navigate being a gentle parent, it can be hard not to get into a mode of persuasiveness or passiveness, unintentionally. And I do believe that this contributes to a child’s disobedience or delayed obedience.

 

Tune in as I dive deeper into what this looks like and how to utilize setting limits in a connected way to gain your child’s respect and obedience without coercion, punishment, persuading, or bribing.
