We all want to navigate those heated moments with grace, empathy, and understanding, even when your child is completely offline.In this episode, I discuss the multifaceted approach to maintaining a harmonious parent-child relationship, even amidst conflicts. We'll explore how stepping back, listening actively, and regulating our own emotions can turn potential blowouts into opportunities for deeper connection and understanding. Drawing from some of my personal insights, I hope to show you that while holding our ground is important, doing so from a place of empathy and calm can make all the difference.In This Episode:Why you can't have a one-sided power struggleRecognizing the signs your child is offlineThe art of active listening during argumentsStrategies for your self-regulationUsing empathy to defuse tensionEncouraging your child's emotional self-regulation========๐Ÿ”— Interested in group or 1:1 Coaching?
