Join me as we discuss:

One of the most important things in getting our kids to behave the way we want: connection.

Why is this connection so important to our kiddos?

We go over a great article from Ahaparenting.com on 10 ways to connect with our kid.

SHOW NOTES

Parents often sponge up techniques, strategies, and little things they can “do” to work on their kid.  But what if I told you that it is actually more important to lean how to BE with our kids.

Sometimes, without even meaning it, we can be a million miles away still mentally trapped behind our desks while we play with our kids or glued to our iPhones while our kid tells us a story.  And I know.  I know.  Some of their stories make us want to find a happy place.

But our kids want our undivided attention. 

They want to know that they have our eyes, ears, and heart.  They want to know that we are so interested in them we are willing to give them our everything to hear what they have to say, what they think, and ultimately what they are going to do.

We MUST learn how to connect with our child.
