@kendraworth: "I'm not touching you! I’m not touching you!” 🙄 If you have more than one kid, you know this game In the moment, my only goal is to stop it. I'm not teaching anything mid-meltdown, because nobody's brain is ready to listen when they're that worked up. Later in the day, once everyone's calm, I sit down with both of them, the one who was doing it and the one who was receiving it. We talk about what happened, why it was annoying/disrespectful, and why we're not going to do it anymore. And I always connect before I correct. I'll snuggle up, get on their level, and keep it light and warm. It's a conversation, not a lecture and my goal is for them to actually hear me, not tune me out. And as much as the internet likes to say that gentle parenting doesn’t work and these conversations are useless, it actually worked perfectly!
