You probably never imagined words like these erupting from your child’s mouth.  Dark. Venomous.  Hurtful words.  But here they are.  “I hate you!” Or worse. “I hate myself.” “I want to die.” Words that make us want to curl up and cry. Admit defeat. Give up parenting altogether. Except, of course, we can’t.  Even piling on hugs and love often doesn’t appear to soothe a child hurling those words (and thoughts) in those moments.  So what’s an emotionally-drained parent to do? This week on the podcast, we’re talking about the times our kid's words get hurtful, whether they’re aimed at us or themselves. Where these words come from When to take notice, when to take action Ways you can respond that shift those thoughts and feelings When play works better than words When kids say stuff like this, it’s hard. It’s worse when it feels like yours are the only ones saying them. They aren’t. Join us this week for support and suggestions for how to move on when your kid's words get hurtful.  More resources for when kids words get negative: For more about how kids acquire harsh language, read this article You can listen to negative language as you would a child cry when you staylisten.

But there is someone else. A special person who will let you scream about how bad your morning has been, and gently tell you they understand.

How much attention does your child need? Have you ever heard the phrase "You can't pour from an empty cup?" When we spend time with our children, do Special Time, listen and care for them, we naturally fill their cups with warmth and love. When a child has a full cup of your warmth and attention, they are less clingy. They are connected and confident. Attention-seeking kids have "Leaky Cups" Except for a child with a "leaky cup". These are the children that, no matter how much time, how much love and how much attention you seem to pour in STILL NEED MORE. Their cups are always leaky! They want more of your love. More of your attention. Or else you'll know about it! They need everything to go their way. They become rigid and controlling when it doesn't. They will whine, they will cry, they will throw themselves down on the floor in tears. They may become aggressive. Pretty soon, life can become a riddle of trying to divide time between all you need to do, and all they need to feel good. Exhausting? Yes. Everlasting? No! Tools for a Child Who Needs Lots of Attention There are things you can do to love these kids just the way they need it, to teach them how to fill their own cups, and for you to have enough energy for your other kids, family members, and even, yourself. If you have ever wondered: How much attention is too much attention? How to help my child become more confident and resilient How to balance out my time and emotions in parenting or just screamed (silently or otherwise) "I can't give anymore!" Join Abigail and Elle this week for some lively banter and good solutions for attention-seeking, leaky cup kids and their families.   More Tools for Attention-Needing Children (and stressed-out parents!)

That's right! What's going well? It's easy to tear yourself apart over parenting, questioning what's going wrong, and becoming overwhelmed with doubts and disappointments. But this week Abigail and Elle  - and right in time for Valentines - look at the value of taking a moment or two to see what's going good for you and your family. What's Going Well? Find out how to train your brain to notice more about what's going well in your parenting. See more good in your kids, and yourself in this episode with Hand in Hand's Elle Kwan and Abigail Wald. Abigail and Elle give a quick rundown on what's going well for them and then talk about how easy it is to get focused on specifics in our parenting, from potty training and sibling rivalry to your child getting good grades at school. When these don't live up to our expectations we can feel bogged down, and they can become sticky points for us. When you have a few of these issues going on at one time, it's easy to begin to set yourself up to notice nothing but negatives. Searching for the good, even in the dark times, breaks that pattern and can give a real boost that keeps you going. Join Abigail and Elle this week as they delve into the good times in parenting and find out how we can condition our brains to notice and delight more of these good times. $100 Off the Hand in Hand Starter Class If you want to work with a Hand in Hand Instructor and are interested in the Starter Class Elle mentioned, you can find the details of it here.
