My favorite piece of advice I’ve ever received is, Say what you mean and mean what you say. It’s so simple, yet SO effective. 🤯 If I give an instruction that I know I won’t or can’t follow through with, I’m basically teaching my kids that I don’t really mean it when I tell them to do something. Which means I will have to give the same instructions over and over, and they won’t listen to me. 😩 I don’t know about you, but I don’t have the time for that! Or the patience, like, let’s be real 😅 so I think before I speak! 🙂

Same with consequences! If you can't follow through with a consequence, it should not even be one that is presented to the child. For example, if your child is throwing a fit in a store, and you threaten to leave them there, you can't actually follow through with that, so it shouldn't even be something you say you will do. And if you ask a yes or no question of your kid, be prepared for either answer. You can't ask them if they want to get in the car to go wherever you're going, if it isn't an option to leave them. You have to state that it's time to get in the car.

I'm not a parent, but I am the middle child. My oldest brother practically raised us since our parents were very neglectful. I am an autistic kid with adhd and dyslexia which made it hard for me to be in loud or beight places, it also made school unbearable, and so when we'd go out to places my brother made sure to bring everything I'd need with him in his bag. My parents would get angry with me, try to order me around or say I was embarrassing them, especially if it was in front of their friends or family members we didn't see often. My brother would place me down on a seat that was out of the way, put my soundproof headphones on, give me my sunglasses that cover my glasses, and then hand me something to fidget with whether that be some type of textured toy/puzzle, or a device to play on. My oldest brother was the best growing up, he sacrificed a lot for me and my younger brother, and the thing that really gets me was the my siblings and I are all 3 years apart. He did the best he could with little to no help, and when I get older I want to be able to thank him in any way I can.

@@-nellie-m3711Hi there. I’ve been researching trauma for several years now. Trauma is actually defined as an experience or event that is a) frightening, upsetting, stressful, and b) out of our control, where we feel helpless to stop it. When kids - especially very young kids - are upset, they are incapable of just figuring it out or sucking it up. They don’t yet have the ability to regulate their emotions, which is why they require a parent or guardian to teach them how to regulate. Once they’ve learned this, they can grow into an emotionally functional adult. If a distressed child instead sees that their distress makes their parent angry, exasperated, cold etc., they learn that expressing negative emotion is a bad thing. Whether they’re explicitly told so or not, the child learns to repress their sadness and anger, and this will follow them for the rest of their life (or at least until they realise and get therapy). Trauma doesn’t need to be physical violence. Trauma can be neglect, even emotional neglect. By dismissing these experiences, you are recreating the exact same scenario that caused the trauma in the first place.

Years ago, my grandson (about 6 in age) was brought to my home to keep him over night. He was so attached to his dad, my son, so he cried and cried. I made my son leave while reassuring him that his son would be OK. After the dad left, I took my grandson to a bed room and acknowledge how sad it was that his dad had to leave. I told him to go ahead and cry all he wanted, and when he was finished crying, we would take him for a Pizza. I walked to the living room and about 3 minutes later he told us he was finished crying, and he was ready to go. To reinforce what I did, I later told him that he would probably forget all about being sad after he had a chance to play the video games at the Pizza Parlor.

It's likely that there's some sort of trauma or neglect happening, if a child needs to clingso intensely I've observed, through all my own healing from covert parental behaviors, and all my training as a speech therapist, Working with 0 to three year olds, studying psychology and neurology,as well as connecting with Medical intuitives.. ... that parents often want to make sure the child cannot live without them..infantilize them( because of their own inner child wounding and neglect that they haven't healed from) and subconsciously wants their child to be dependent on them and they do all sorts of unconscious covert stuff behind the scenes To create that Trauma bond😢 I've also noticed that one parent will attract into their life, another person that appears "worse than them "so that makes them look like the good parent, because of their own insecurities and lack of self-worth... However the worst issues are the ones that are not seen.. the emotional wounding from childhood that manifest in unhealthy ways that get passed on to the children.

Though, I was raised in a family with both diagnosed and (very obvious, yet) undiagnosed narcissistic personality disorder. Ironically, the person diagnosed treated me better than the undiagnosed. Though, I have no clue what it feels like to hug my mother, and not feel sick. Or have her support me - without trying to sabotage me (allegedly, imo and whatever). I’ve even watched parents lovingly hug their children and think “I wonder what that feels like?” That’s wonderful you have that memory to cherish, of your dad. I really like these tricks, in the video. Though, more than anything - I appreciate the effort in learning how to be a better parent.

As a child of 7, I’d like to mention, “is this beneficial for the child or is it just to make things easier for me?” Be aware that children lack a lot of “downtime” per se when school comes around. Routine, chores, and helping out is great but requiring a lot mentally and physically of your child is unfair and can cause a ton of anxiety and overwhelm. They are people too. adults are there to guide not control. Kids have autonomy. And it’s okay to apologize when you’re wrong. They need to know we also don’t know a lot at the end of the day. We’re all in this together. Never underestimate what you can learn from kids no matter the age. None of us are perfect and we’re all learning forever lol

On the same vein, I don't threaten punishments that I'm not going to follow through with. It's a common thing to say- put on your shoes or we're not going anywhere. It's meant to scare the kid but in reality you'd never follow through with that. Also, whe you say you're going to give a consequence, actually do it. If you keep saying "if you do that onie more time..." the kid is just going to get more agitated. Instead tell them not to do something once, tell them what the consequence for not listening is, and immediately follow through when they brake that rule. Of course if you have a toddler/preschooler this will have to be repeated

Great advice! It has to be something that they're actually capable of doing and something that you're capable of punishing if not followed through with.

The second one. "I cannot physically stop my child from crying." is something my parents should learn. Like of course the child is crying because of pain. What do you want them to do? Suddenly stop crying?

Me watching this and remembering the time my mom actually made me stop crying,oh the chronicles of having strict parents, wouldn't change it for the world though 😂❤

Back then they even gave us choices... Stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about. 😅
