This week's tool is:
'Extensive research shows that we cannot influence children in a positive way until we create a connection with them. It is a brain (and heart) thing. Sometimes we have to stop dealing with the misbehavior and first heal the relationship.
Connection creates a sense of safety and openness. Punishment, lecturing, nagging, scolding, blaming or shaming create fight, flight, or freeze. Now we know it is just brain science: children learn (grow, feel safe, thrive) best when they feel connection--or as Alfred Adler and Rudolf Dreikurs taught us, "a sense of belonging and significance".
I LOVE what Jane Nelson writes below about
