@parentingwithbec: Focusing on what you want your child to do, like saying “gentle hands” instead of “don’t hit” works because it gives clear guidance on positive behavior. It helps the child focus on what’s expected, reduces confusion, and encourages self-regulation. It also fosters connection rather than control. 💕
