When your child is being hurt emotionally or physically by other kids or hurting others themselves do you know how to talk to them?
Gabriella Blanco shares some tips on talking to our kids in ways they will understand when something like this happens. She also discusses how to deal with the emotions and feelings this brings up and how to listen deeply to what our children are saying. Gabriella says that validating their feelings but also setting boundaries is much more effective than saying “how do you think the other child feels?”

She supports humans who are intentionally healing while parenting with the tools, support and community to experience close lasting and connected relationships with their children and themselves.
