#030 How to have realistic expectations for your child

Picture
What expectations should we have of our kids?

Should a 4 year old be able to tidy up themselves after an activity?

Should a 10 year old be able to shower and get dressed by themselves?

Should your 8 year old know better than to lie?

Is it helpful to have expectations at all?

This week I talk about why high expectations aren't that helpful in parenting and what you can do instead!
A child may be physically capable of dressing themselves or brushing their teeth, but you also have to consider whether they are mentally and emotionally able to complete these tasks without your support. This can change from day to day and even moment to moment.

It's time to get curious - is your child struggling? If so, they need your help, not the weight of your expectations.

Listen in to find out how you can support them to be cooperative and independent in a realistic way.

Thanks for joining me. If you’re ready to put these big ideas into action and learn the strategies to parent in a peaceful and respectful way, then get signed up to my next virtual Why Your Kids Won't Listen Masterclass.
