@kendraworth: The key to gentle parenting is practicing in calm to THRIVE in chaos ❤️ Because emotional regulation exercises won’t work if the ONLY time you try them is when your child is already having a tantrum. I get a lot of criticism on my gentle parenting tantrum videos with my younger kids, but the proof is in the pudding. My 5 YO is so emotionally intelligent, regulated, kind, empathetic, and has not had a single tantrum in OVER a year—but she came from exactly the same place as her younger sisters. Tantrums are not misbehavior, they happen when a child’s emotions being TOO BIG for their little body. Every tantrum isn’t an inconvenience, but a chance to teach your child unconditional love + how to cope with life’s difficulties. Because we practice our exercises when my kids are calm, they can access and use them when they’re emotional & the tantrums end very quickly. I’m often told my tantrum examples aren’t even real tantrums, but my kids never reach the escalation stage for long because they know how to calm down through co-regulation Make sure to follow me for all things REAL gentle parenting & no-tears sleep training.
