[POSITIVE PARENTING] What If Positive Parenting Backfires For You? (Like It Did For Me 😓)
Hint: It’s not more time. Or more patience. (Although we could definitely do with a bit of both!)
Hey there!
🎉Congratulations on completing the How To Be A Positive Parent Mini-Course!🎉
Woot! You did it!!!
Before we move on, let's tackle one last question: what if positive parenting backfires on you?
See here's the thing... a while back, when I realized that it's totally a misconception that in order to get kids to behave we need to "be tough" and punish them to "teach them a lesson", I was so motivated to change my ways!
Think about it for a bit...
Say you get stuck in traffic and end up late for a meeting. If your boss shames you publicly in front of your colleagues, and punishes you by taking away your annual bonus, how motivated will you be to work harder for that company?
On top of that, in that moment of misbehavior, when emotions are running high, kids are not capable of learning anything. The rational, learning centers of their brain are offline!
This made a lot of sense to me, so I decided to go "all in" on Positive Parenting.
The problem however was, in my eagerness to be a more positive parent, I swung too much in the opposite direction. And before I knew it, I had ended up being a permissive parent.
And my daughter's behavior was off-the-charts terrible 😖
It took me a while to realize that between the two extremes is a happy medium where we CAN give up nagging, yelling, shaming and punishment, and still stay in charge.
We CAN "teach a lesson", but in a way that creates a connected relationship that facilitates lasting transformation, instead of grudging temporary compliance and long-term resentment!
Today, I want to introduce you to a one-of-a-kind support system called the AFineParent Academythat we designed specifically for positive parents, so you have all the tools you need to stay in that sweet spot of gentle authority without veering into the extremes of the dictatorparent or the pushover parent!
This has been the game changer... not just for me, but for thousands of members inside the Academy too! I think this comment from Jen C., one of our members, sums it up beautifully -
I cannot express how grateful I am to you for the Academy. I knew what I didn't want to do anymore as a parent and was struggling with what to do instead. This is spot on for who I want to be as a parent.
Inside the AFineParent Academy program you get access to 102 different masterclasses from experts like Dr. Dan Siegel, Dr. Tina Bryson, Dr. Laura Markham, Dr. Shefali Tsabary, Dr. Mone Delahooke, Dr. Larry Cohen, Julie King, Julie Lythcott-Haims, Shawn Achor and more!
We have them classified into 7 different "Blueprints" and one of our most popular blueprints, is the Positive Parenting Blueprint which gives you deep insights and effective strategies on -
how to set limits with our kids, without resorting to punishment or caving in
how to handle limit-pushing behavior, without getting triggered in the process
how to create a culture of cooperation in our families, instead of a culture of fear
how to create lasting change, instead of temporary compliance
how to work with our kids strengths, instead of punishing them for their weaknesses
and so much more!
Every single one of these masterclasses is about raising happy kids who will go on to be capable, well-adjusted adults; without using harsh punishment, or becoming permissive!
In addition to the positive parenting blueprint, you also get blueprints for managing your emotions (so handy to handle triggering situations!), teaching kids important life skills (imagine them doing homework and chores, all on their own!), handling anxiety and stress (both in kids and parents!), screen time management and so much more.
Plus, we host live Q&A calls with different experts each month, so you can get specific questions about your kids answered!
And, we have a private Facebook group where you can connect with other like-minded parents just like you!
