What if Parents Talked to Each Other the Way We Talk to Our Kids?
Recently someone sent us this video from comedic mom group “The Break Womb” entitled, “What If Moms Talked to Each Other The Way They Talk to Their Kids…” It’s pretty funny, but it’s also a good reminder of how the way we talk to our kids can be subtly condescending or shaming. Take a look!
Apply It Now:
- Did you find yourself wincing a little at anything in this video? What was it, and why did it make you wince?
- Is there anything you’d like to change about the way you talk to your kids? Think about it, then share your goals with a spouse or friend.
- If you feel it’s warranted, consider an apology to your child. Apologizing can be a great way to model flexibility and growth, as well as to start a conversation with your child about what kind of parent you want to be!
