SO MANY ADULTS would be happier and healthier if their parents had known about these principles. A lot of toxic, passive aggressive behavior in adults occurs because they aren't able to identify and honestly express their own emotions, let alone process them. It's really sad because they were never taught how. Well done to you and thanks for helping other parents do better as well 👏🏼

You put SO much work into this! Thank you! I'm not a parent yet (or even married) but I want to learn as much as I can before the day comes. Just to share a quick story, I'm 26 now and I was raised with this exact parenting style by two rather progressive (for the early 90s) parents. I had the happiest childhood and even teenage years because of it. Being taught how to express myself and always being given the space to do so was such a blessing. My sibling and I have been best friends our entire lives, even now as adults, because of their positive discipline teachings, too. We never got to the point where resentment spoiled love and joy for each other's company. I want to raise my future children this same way and even though I was raised with this philosophy, I don't know the specific techniques. So again thank you so much for putting in so much time and effort to spread your knowledge, I truly appreciate it!

The neigbours girls are coming over a lot lately and my next goal will be to “sportscast” every time the two sisters start fighting or arguing with each other. Hopefully it will quiet them down so they can find a solution to the problem themselves.

It also helps me to focus on my physical body when I become angry at my children. I focus on tension in my jaw or my arms and focus on relaxing my muscles while saying and doing as little as necessary with my child until I calm down. Before I go to sleep sometimes I journal about my anger or lack of impulse control in order to induce lucid dreaming. I find the dreams are often cathartic and symbolic. They help me to think about my emotional issues in concrete terms

It's hard for sure. I just try to remember that worst case scenario, if I do lose it and I say something I regret it's okay to apologize and be vulnerable with them too. It models that even when they make a mistake they can do their best to make it right and even adults don't always keep their cool. My parents never apologized for the frankly abusive things they would say in anger and instead would pretend they never happened. If I had been apologized to as a child I really think it would have done so much to repair my relationship with my parents even if they made mistakes.

So so many things about this are so hard.. Just one example - what do you do when the older child is always really really fast at taking over any new (or otherwise clearly more interesting) object or activity. It is just so so difficult to have a blanket rule. Plus the younger child is really not capable of advocating for themselves. I find dealing with siblings to be one of the most draining and disheartening aspect of parenting (even though they do have many sweet moments, the rest of the time the bickering feels NEVERENDING)

Hey Ashely, I love your videos and think the Montessori and positive discipline approach is great. However, you said something that deeply concerns me as someone who works in domestic violence prevention. You said that sometimes the "victim" is to blame for the "aggressor" getting to a certain point. This is not the case. A person is never responsible for anyone else's actions. Assuming so leads to victim-blaming which is why many people stay in abusive relationships because they believe they are to blame for what happened to them. Like if I just hadn't said that thing or done x, y wouldn't have happened. Yes, a sibling may say or do something that makes another upset but that doesn't mean the sibling deserves to then be abused back. As you said, it much better to model healthy relations and give them words to describe how they're feeling that are non-hurtful to all parties involved.
@HapaFamily4 жыл бұрын
Hi! I 100% agree with what you said and did not intend for that to be the message, especially with regard to truly abusive relationships. I was only trying to draw attention to the common occurrence when a parent wrongly assumes that an older child (or the one who is typically more dominant) is automatically to blame for a squabble between the children whenever they overhear crying/arguing (rushing in and immediately saying, “What did you do to the baby?!”). In some cases, the squabble was actually initiated by the younger child, or they may have at least been an equal party in the squabble, and so it becomes important that the parent avoid casting immediate judgment based on assumed roles, and instead should take the time to find out what the situation truly looked like. Maybe I could have worded it better, as that was the intention of my message in that portion of the video! Hope that clarifies! 🥰

(Which is understandable as she normally knocks it down or something like that) but what's not okay is how he reacts towards her. He will squeeze or push her hard.. I have been showing him gentle hands after he reacts this way. But it's really hard not to get upset when it happens all day over and over again. 😕

It's drives me a bit crazy seeing parents compare their kids, irresponsibly putting them against each other. It's very much harmful to expect a child to grow up any quicker than they are because of a new arrival or a smaller sibling.

About consequences; is there a Montessori way to teach children about consequences? I understand the positive discipline way is to teach them the alternative so they just learn to avoid bad behaviours, but do they learn consequences if they always do that? Of course traditional parents would say, I’m just teaching them how the world works. The world has consequences.

Natural consequences are taught in montessori. For example: oh no we spilt our drink. Now we must clean it up. Even if you end up cleaning it not them, you're modeling taking responsibility for their actions and they will learn from this
