Podcast appearances and mentions of rebecca eanes

So often, children are punished for being human. They are not allowed to have grumpy moods, bad days, disrespectful tones, or bad attitudes. Yet, we adults have them all the time. None of us are perfect. We must stop holding our children to a higher standard of perfection than we can attain ourselves. - Rebecca Eanes

SUMMARY Bridgett Miller, with almost two decades of experience as a teacher and parent, writes What Young Children Need You to Know: How to See Them So You Know What to Do for Them. Supporting adults to nurture the children in their lives using their heads and their hearts, Miller brings to the table her credentials, including being an authorized Facilitator of the Neufeld Institute and the creator of Look with Love and Parenting with Intention on Facebook and Instagram. In essence, Miller says about children, “What they desire and deserve most is to be in the presence of a caring adult who acknowledges and validates what they are feeling. Most important, they need an adult who stays connected to them in a heartfelt way by resisting the temptation to suppress or judge their behavior in their most vulnerable moments.”  In short, children crave a strong and loving connection, and “we keep showing up because we love them.” KEY POINTS Connection – the most important key to good parenting Parental stumbling block – expecting to be on top of our game all the time; antidote – giving ourselves some grace Children’s development is not entirely up to us; Mother Nature helps by working on the inside to help our children mature. Temper tantrums – “gifts in disguise” Young children are incapable of filtering mixed feelings (exercising self-control). Tears show extreme vulnerability, indicating a healthy emotional sense of self. Children live in the moment, so countdown warnings aren’t always helpful, especially because adults often stretch and condense the time for their own benefit. Bedtime – perceived as a time of separation from the people they’re deeply attached to Cellphones – perceived as a competing attachment Interruptions – younger children get in our physical space; older children use words because they can’t hold their thoughts in their mind Light physical contact helps ground children when they’re upset. Parenting (doing) isn’t the same as being with our children. QUOTES FROM MILLER “As Gordon Neufeld often states, your children never feel lost when they are sure of the person who is leading them.” “Emotions need to move…[they] are better out than in, especially when children are very young.” “Attempting to teach a young child something they aren’t yet capable of doing fuels a sense of disconnection between you and your child.” “Every interaction is an invitation to teach and to learn.” “What [children] want most is for you to give them the sense that you ‘get’ them, even when they are struggling to express themselves.” “Parenting can become a daily reminder of the importance of getting to know ourselves better so that we can become more conscious in all of our relationships.” “Parents often have to release the deluded notion that children are here to make us happy and that their behavior needs to be a certain way in order for us to experience the joy of parenting.” “Putting some of our energy into understanding the needs that drive young children’s behaviours and then doing what we can to meet them, will—in the long term—serve us much better than a weekend away at a spa.” “The key to understanding our child is to become very good at observing them and not to cling to the outcome of how we think things need to go.” “The beauty of play is that it teaches…children more than we could ever hope to.” “The children who stir us up and the ones who wake us up…If they’re pushing our buttons, it’s because those buttons need to be pushed.” “One of the greatest unexpected by-products of raising children is the opportunity to grow into the people we’re capable of being.” BUY What Young Children Need You to Know: How to see them so you know what to do for them RECOMMENDATIONS Listen to Nonfiction4Life Episode 15 with Erica Komisar, Being There: Why Prioritizing Motherhood in the First Three Years Matters Listen to Nonfiction4Life Episode 30 with Rebecca Eanes, The Positive Parenting Workbook: An Interactive Guide for Strengthening Emotional Connection Connect with us!

Using traditional parenting techniques, author Rebecca Eanes felt disconnected from her children. Frustrated and discouraged, she decided to trust her gut instead. She documented online her newfound success with positive parenting and quickly found her message resonated with countless parents. In fact, she gained over a million followers on her “Positive Parenting” Facebook page and plenty of material for her first book, Positive Parenting: An Essential Guide. Now, two years later, Eanes shares her Positive Parenting Workbook: An Interactive Guide for Strengthening Emotional Connection. This companion guide or stand-alone book offers a place for parents to reflect on motivations, reactions, and goals. Ultimately, Eanes writes to help parents connect (or reconnect) with their children in order to create calmer, happier familial relationships. Since research shows healthy parents help children thrive, the author encourages all parents to “look within” first. In other words, before blaming society or our children, it's imperative we engage in proper self-care. To take good care of ourselves, Eanes suggests we slow down in one way or another. This can include taking deep breaths, doing push-ups, calling a friend, or asking for a hug. After all, as American author Robert Brault once said, “In our happiest childhood memories, our parents were happy, too.” The Workbook is replete with insightful exercises to help parents, such as: Build a foundation of trust Identify and change damaging, negative thought patterns Implement calm-down techniques instead of succumbing to anger and frustration Reconnect with partners, then approach parenting on a united front Create a positive family culture that allows kids to feel safe and loved Trade punishments for solutions Engage in daily loving rituals that strengthen family bonds In addition, Eanes addresses how to face proactively “Top Parenting Challenges.” These include tough cases such as Aggression, Whining, Not Listening, Back Talk, and Tantrums. Designed to reduce the drama, stress, and resentment all too common in families, Eanes's book shows parents how to intentionally chart a new path. Then, with greater emotional awareness, clear communication, and genuine connection with loved ones, parents are equipped to create joyful family moments. Eanes is the founder of Positive-Parents.org.

If they had perfect parents, they would not know how to get through this world.”  “Be as gentle and respectful with yourself as you are trying to be with your kids. You are not perfect either and you don't have to be. We are all growing, we are all learning, we are all flawed, and we all need grace.
