Kids are hardwired to connect & when we can look at their behavior with a different perspective and see it for what it really is- a form of communication that clues us in on what is going inside our kids, then we can practice responding to absolutely anything in a respectful, gentle, & calm way. Watch, observe, listen, look and play with intention, which doesn’t mean it has to be 24/7, but recognizing that we have to protect intentional time with our kids. We live in the busiest and most distracted time and we have to choose to be different. When are kids  feel seen, heard and understood they become teens and adults who have self worth and self confidence. We were all made for love and connection so it only makes sense as our kids are growing and developing and learning that we cover them with that same love and connection no matter what.
