These kind of truths that challenge you, but they can set you free if you’re brave enough to hear them:
1. If you want your kid to stop yelling, stop yelling at them. Nervous systems mirror each other. You can’t scream someone into calm.
2. “Because I said so” teaches fear, not respect. Respect is modeled, not demanded.
3. If you never say no, don’t be surprised when your child thinks the world owes them a yes. Real life has boundaries and limits. Parenting should, too.
4. You’re not messing them up by making mistakes. You’re messing them up if you never repair. Rupture isn’t the problem. Avoiding repair is.
5. You think you need to be in control. What your child actually needs is for you to be regulated. There’s a difference between control and leadership. One builds fear. The other builds trust.
