G O O D A D V I C E fun fact: not all parenting tips work for all families trying to implement parenting techniques that don’t align with your family’s values can lead to more challenges instead of more calm if you get a strong gut response to a new parenting technique, trust yourself enough to sit with that feeling in reflection - what might be the root of those strong emotions? is there a way you can adapt the strategy to make it feel *authentic* to your style of parenting? how can you stay open minded to take what might work & leave the rest? practicing reflecting on your own emotional responses can make a huge impact on your ability to connect with & calm your child at every age & stage of their development
