Feel Understood NOT Misunderstood

Empowered Parents

When our child reacts in a way that surprises us!

Or responds in a way that we didn’t expect them to respond 🤨

Instead of shifting blame or saying ‘that’s not what I meant!’ or
‘you misunderstood me’…

Seize the opportunity to instead UNDERSTAND.

How???

Backtrack to the event:

Ask ‘I wonder what they saw?’

Seize the opportunity to understand 🤔 Where they are at?!
What is their level of perception?

Ask… ‘Were my words congruent with my emotions? ‘

Or was there possibly an unconscious hidden agenda that led to them to feel confused as they received our message? 🧐

As we parent from ‘conscious’ awareness we gain access to greater connection with our kids.

Bonus is that We also gain greater connection within Ourselves!
