The 5 Things I Would Never Do as a Parenting Coach

MetroParent asked me to write an article on The 5 Things I Would Never Do as a Parenting Coach, and I thought it would be fun to join the TikTok trend. I go over my top 5, and ways to reframe the situation to help you and your kiddos thrive.  The 5 Things I Would Never Do as a Parenting Coach:Why I don’t make kiddos apologize for their behaviors.We go over why this is not teaching your children empathy.Even though your child’s behavior is not always great, this does not mean you have a bad kid or are doing a bad job as a parent.Why I will never feel afraid of making mistakes as a parent.How to use the 80/20 rule when you feel bad for yelling at your child.Why using the moments when you aren’t doing your best parenting is the perfect time to help teach your child about how to reset and repair the situation. Why giving yourself grace is so essential for you and your kiddo.Why confidence is gained through competence.It’s hard, but we must let our kids go through struggles. What experience stacking is and why it’s important.5 - 6-year-olds should have better coping skills and fewer tantrums; if not, they just need extra help dealing with difficult situations.How I still have a hard time not stepping in to help with my grown children.Why I never try to control the outcome. Your child’s path may be very different from what you expected. Pay attention to the reasons why.I tell a story from a professor from my college days about why giving our kids the space to learn works and is important for the learning process. Why I would never parent from a rigid place.  Resources: MetroParent article - The 5 Things I Would Never Do as a Parenting Coach - https://www.metroparent.com/parenting/advice/what-a-parenting-coach-would-never-do/Here is the link to join The Parenting Reset, which will start in January.https://theparentingreframe.com/the-parenting-program/I hope you found this episode helpful; for more parenting tips, check out my website and blog for more information. https://theparentingreframe.com/Make sure to sign up for my weekly newsletter and get other free resources. https://theparentingreframe.com/free-resources/Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theparentingreframe/If you would like a personalized approach to help reframe how you parent, check out my coaching options https://theparentingreframe.com/parent-coaching-packages/ The Parenting Reframe Podcast is edited by JAG Podcast Productions: https://jagpodcastproductions.com/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
