Here's a reaaaaaaally common question I'm asked about parenting differently-wired kids in private practice and online:

'Why is my kid such a jerk sometimes??'

I can't tell you 'why' with 100% certainty...

But I CAN tell you they're not choosing to be this way.

What if the key to a better relationship was a simple shift in perspective?

*Key Takeaways*

1. Reframe Your Perspective: Understand that your child isn't choosing to be difficult.
2. Relationship Over Strategy: Focus on building a strong, empathetic connection.
3. Respond with Empathy: Learn how to approach discipline with kindness and curiosity.
4. Model Emotional Regulation: Show your child how to handle big feelings by example.
5. Address Shame: Recognize and respond to the signs of shame in your child.

If you're ready to change up your discipline strategies and take a different parenting approach, this perspective shift could be just the thing you need.
