We oftentimes find ourselves getting on our kids, for the exact same things we do ourselves, or have certainly done in the past.  Recognizing that can help us to find more patience and to put ourselves in their shoes and be their friend and advocate rather than their accuser.

In this episode we present a story of when we actually did a pretty good job of bypassing what could have easily boiled into caustic conflict.  Most of the time we fall prey to natural tendencies and slip all too easily into disappointment and discouragement.  Listen to learn what you can do to hold firm to boundaries while really connecting with our children, EVEN when they are yanking our chains!

Our kids are children.  They are not actually just miniaturized adults.  

As such, we need to be aware of where our children are and match them there so that they can actually receive and feel the tremendous amount of love that we have for them.

We become who we are by the stories that we carry.  And we connect to each other through storytelling.

So what stories are we giving to our children?  What stories are we using to shape who are children become?  What stories are we utilizing to bring our families closer together each day?

Me and my boy found ourselves near the top of a serious mountain, stuck, and only digging ourselves into a deeper hole as we did all the wrong things.

Sometimes, our natural instincts do the same thing to us as parents, digging us into deeper and deeper pits when we thought we were "solving" problems.

What key bit information and understanding are we missing to pull us out of such a trap?

Comparison leads to isolation.

Isolation amplifies struggle.

Being real and open, rather than trying to pretend that we're all that, leads to shared strength to overcome the struggle.

Anarchy bites.

Order is beautiful.

When we aren't diligently maintaining our family systems, we quickly fall apart.  What's worse is that our own brains fight against us when we try to improve the structure of our home.  

Hear us share from our own current struggles to overcome as we share some encouragement for your crew as well!

There must be a long tradition spread across humankind of sincere self-deprecation.

While we may claim that by so doing, we're only harming ourselves, the truth is that as we role model that behavior in front of our children, we are damaging our child's ability to  manage their emotions and their life in a healthy way.

Tune in to hear what we have found to be effective in reversing that troublesome tradition.

We've been working at parenting for a really long time and our patience still gets tested!

Covey talks about the space between stimulus and response.  We've created a tool that figuratively slows time down to the point that we can take advantage of that space so that we  come off with superhuman imperturbability!  Check it out!
