We might think that it's our role as parents to modify and correct the behavior of our kids, and we often do that by using rewards and punishments.

Sometimes it seems as if one or more of our kids doesn't have feelings, or is okay with anything. As if they are so easy in nature that nothing bothers them. Maybe that is true to some degree.

Strong-willed kids are often sensitive, like my sweet Esme. These kids will make parenting using conventional ideas very challenging. Good for them to push back against the ideas of control and manipulation. Their internal workings tell them these tactics are attacks on their psyche. The problem is they come out fighting and then the circle of behavior begins with little hope of getting it to stop except through connection.

The feelings our children display can be difficult for us to endure. However, when we do with calm, we show them we are safe and able to be their container. As life moves on we are cementing this idea. When things are hard where will they come? But only if we can illustrate we are actually safe. Having trouble sleeping?

Often we say our child is upset when they “don't get their own way” but is it that simple and are they “allowed to have feelings around disappointment? Aren't we upset when things don't go our own way? Isn't it true we feel disappointed or defeated? Just because they are little doesn't mean they aren't “allowed” to have those feelings too.

Do we actually believe we aren't good enough parents because we weren't good enough kids? Were our mistakes punished and pointed out in order to make us feel bad and do we feel bad now when we mess up, chastise ourselves and hold ourselves to unattainable standards like the ones our parents held us to? I believe this could be a big part of the parent shaming cycle that never ends but continues outside of our childhood. Let's reframe this idea. Having trouble sleeping?

The brain functions well with connection and is at ease when they feel good about the people that are around. Especially children and babies. The limbic system looks to connect with other limbic systems in order to feel safe. Our children are constantly looking to make connections in order to establish a deep connection with a caretaker to ensure they are taken care of. They are provided shelter, sustenance, and protection. Maintaining connections for children is vital to their existence. Listen to this week's episode as Michelle more deeply explains.

This realization of being a bully didn't come to Michelle early on in parenting, but as she reflects she now sees her behavior as a young mom resembled that of bullying. The yelling, threats, bribes, and shame aren't something any child should have to live with, and really no person. Do we want to show up in our loving relationships in this way or would we rather come to them with love and understanding? It can be hard when society and often our own families are telling us otherwise. Having trouble sleeping?

Are we wired to fix things with our kids and perhaps with our partners as well? Does this place us in a position to miss the feelings which might be mulling around and go straight to this idea that we cannot allow our loved ones to suffer, as it might be too difficult for us?

There's much discussion about regulation. How do I get my child to self-regulate? How do I get them to learn about their emotions and learn emotional regulation? Can I teach it to them and what is the best way? Many folks want to explain and teach breathing techniques and ways to name their feelings. But co-regulation is where it's really at. Co-regulation is where kids really internalize the idea of maintaining their cool.

Respect is something society tells us our children "need" to have for us. Kids are expected to respect their elders and "be" respectful. Much of the respect I see is respect that is forced and not the kind that is earned. My children need to earn my respect and me theirs. We live in a reciprocal relationship that is based on mutual respect. Isn't that what we want in our other loving relationships? Why would this one be any different?

Yep, I said it, and I believe it. Punishment is revenge in a very real way. We don't punish children for any other reason except we want them to “pay” for what they did. It's not our fault, as our parents did the same thing. If we look at our own childhood we can remember what it felt like and how punitive and unkind it came across. Is this what we want for our kids?

How do we teach our children gratitude? Is it through direct instruction or lessons on being grateful? Do we point out all the things in their lives that they should be grateful for, or make them regurgitate things they are grateful for at the Thanksgiving Table?

Sometimes when our kids struggle we blame ourselves and hold ourselves accountable. We believe it's our fault especially when there are big ugly feelings. Can we instead be present and grounded in those feelings and bear witness to help them come through and help them know those big ugly feelings are totally normal?

Gentle parenting or conscious parenting if done right does not create children who are “snowflakes”. What is a snowflake anyway and how can we both come to our kids with kindness and avoid creating adults who cannot withstand upsetting and hard moments in life? Could our overparenting be hindering us, and what about underparenting? Goodness, there's too much to discuss. Today's episode is sponsored by Tosi Snacks.

When our child misbehaves the first thing to do is to make it stop and our next thought is to correct, scold or punish. Why? Because this is precisely what our parents would do and what society tells us will “work” to get the behavior to cease.

We overly stress about the trauma we might be causing our children. We often believe every misstep and slip up will “ruin” our kids. I hear this often from my clients and on Social Media.

Even if we are doing away with punishments we can still have a critical attitude when it comes to our children. Those criticisms and judgments might stick deeper than all of the positive things we are experiencing with our kids each day. Our mind processes positive and negative things differently. Unfortunately, the negative things become our focus. When they do, can they get stuck in our inner speak? How can we help our kids gain positive inner speak?
