The Gift of Long Term Results when Practicing Positive Parenting

On this episode of the Fresh Start Family Show, Wendy paints a beautiful picture of what a long term gift it is to build a relationship with our kids that is built on unconditional love and trust. Traditional punishment might seem like it works or that it’s easier, but it really doesn’t “work” in the long run. Compassionate discipline may take some practice and a little more effort, and it really does yield the long term results we are looking for - connection, honesty, intrinsic motivation and self-control…the list goes on and on. 

Tune in to learn ways we invest in the gift of long term results:

-responsiveness - getting away from explosive reactivity so they feel safe

-trust / safety - still firm boundaries / rules / limits - but enforced with kindness, connection

-making amends - taking responsibility for our own behaviors and repairing the relationship

-empowerment - searching & seeking for ways to help them feel powerful

-unconditional love -leads to deep belonging and connection.
