✨MA Tip Monday✨
It took me a while to realize that the way I responded to and communicated with one child didn’t always work with the other child. I would communicate in the same way to both kiddos and wonder why I was getting two different behavioral responses.
I didn’t start seeing positive results in our younger kiddo until I reminded myself that every child is different. There are general, over-arching principals that we practice in our home, (kindness, respect for Mom and Dad and respect for each other, speaking to each other’s value and worth, etc.) but the *way* in which we carried those principals out needed to be tailored to fit the needs and communication style of our youngest little love.
Once we figured out this concept and made a shift, we started seeing different results.
I’d love to hear your take on this concept. Is this something you already practice in your home? How about when you were a kid: if you had siblings, did your parents have a one-size-fits-all approach to communicating with you and your siblings, or did they communicate and parent you each differently?
Thanks for being here. 🤗
