I've studied over 200 kids: If you want your kids to always be close with you, do 7 things — CNBC As parents, we all want our kids to be close with us when they become adults. Reem Raouda, a child psychologist who has studied over 200 kids, shares the early habits that will help create a lifelong bond between parents and children.

Thank you for this beautiful reminder.

Without connection, we have to rely on force. We fall back on threats, bribes and harsh punishments. But force usually causes damage. If you want to have influence, connection is the key.

Mindful Monday... 🌄

THE CLIMB

They say that when you’re broken
This is how the light gets in
But what if all the cracks
Are letting out the light within?

They say it makes you stronger
But at first it makes you weak
The way you face the mountain base
Before you reach the peak

They say to break is brave
And yet your mind is full of dread
You’re not overwhelmed by courage
But by helplessness instead

But admitting you are breaking
Is far braver than you know
And remember, from the bottom
There is just one way to go

See, I think they mean it isn’t just
That breaking makes you strong
But the way you use the embers
Of your will to carry on

It’s triumph over trauma
And it’s healing after hurt
It’s rising from the ashes
With a new-found sense of worth

So find yourself a candle
And allow its tiny spark
To ignite you back to life
And put the fire back in your heart

And grant yourself compassion
For the times that you feel weak
Just rest until you’re strong enough
To get back on your feet

Yes, I know that when you’re broken
You have only threads of hope
But tie them to the mountain
Like your personal safety rope

Then gather at the bottom
With the summit high above
Then take a breath and take a step
The only way is up

~ Becky Hemsley Poetry ~

🎨 To You From Steph

Remember, it’s okay for our toddlers to have big feelings. The meltdown moment will pass, and it will pass MUCH faster if we can remain calm ourselves, surrendering to the stormy moment.  During a tantrum, let your calm be contagious, connect, & OK those feelings. Want to tame those tantrums, end power struggles for good, and learn to discipline in a way that both WORKS and protects your kid’s self-esteem? Our best-selling course, Winning the Toddler Stage, is here to help! For parents + caregivers with kids ages 1-6. Link in bio!

They say play is the work of children—and it’s true! Play is how children learn about the world, themselves and each other. It’s as much a part of healthy development as eating vegetables, reading books together and getting a good night’s sleep. Even the United Nations lists play as one of the basic rights of every child. There is no right or wrong way to play. It’s anything from sticking a hand in mashed potatoes to playing lego or dolls, to staring out a window and daydreaming. It looks different depending on the day and the child: Sometimes children play with friends and other times, on their own. Sometimes they may speak aloud and other times, be silent in their heads. Sometimes play is messy or risky and other times, quiet and relaxed. Children don’t need fancy toys or certificates to play. They need time, space and freedom to explore the ideas that interest them. No matter what it looks like, when children play, they learn. . . . . 🛎️ DON’T FORGET TO MARK THIS IN YOUR CALENDARS - MARCH 5-8 we are bringing our FREE SPRING PARENTING SUMMIT to you Join the world's top experts in this epic 4 day 🔥 FREE EVENT!!! 👇 Link in bio OR type ICPSUMMIT in the comments to get a registration link 👇 ✅ FREE Access ✅ 4 Half-day LIVE Interactive Workshops ✅ 16 Masterclasses Presentations ✅ 28 hours of Continuing Education ✅ The TOP Experts on the Planet ✅ Certificates for Continuing Education (for those who purchase recordings) ✅ Bonus: Fostering Resiliency 3 Hour E-Course for those who purchase recordings . . . #parentingtips #consciousparenting #momsofinstagram #responsiveparenting #gentleparenting #dadlife #family #psychology #dadsofinstagram #toddler
