What Changes a Child’s Behavior

We parents have been taught that our children’s behavior must be corrected through punishments and manipulations, and sadly, this has been accepted as the default mode of parenting. And when compounding other stressors in lives, it becomes so easy to unconsciously fall back on that out of desperation to change their behavior. So I want to talk about where we should focus when it comes to our children’s behavior. Looking inward and self-reflecting on our own behavior is a critical factor in transforming our relationship with our children into a healthier one. You’d be surprised at how willingly children will open up to us when we make an active effort to change, so please make sure to listen in on this episode!   Episode Highlights: We resort to punishments as a desperate attempt to change our child’s behavior Nobody likes being manipulated or be forced to comply, especially children The ultimate way to change our family’s dynamics is to change ourselves   Resources mentioned in this episode: "Parenting from the Inside Out” by Daniel J.
