Most of us have been there when our child is name calling or using swear words.
It usually brings a big reaction in us. We respond harshly or we aren't sure how to respond at all. And that is often where the desire to swear arises from with our children. They notice the reaction it brings up in us. Seeing this reaction is compelling to them. Or perhaps name-calling can be something a child turns to when they are feeling grumpy and disconnected. |
They direct their discontent towards you or their sibling with words like "You're an idiot".
As always, I am interested in looking beyond controlling the behaviour and instead I always try to understand the feelings and needs driving that behaviour.
When we take action from a place of empathy and emotional awareness it is much more effective and satisfying than focusing on changing behaviour.
So in this episode I talk about how we can respond to children when they swear or name-call and what we can do to prevent it or manage it in a connecting way.
Learn more about connection-based parenting in my upcoming free Masterclass Why Your Kids Won't Listen and What You Can Do About It - Thursday 8th December at 8pm UK time.
