Are you a frustrated Parent?

Why is it always a struggle to get them to do what you ask?

Remember this morning when you woke your kids up… how they got ready on time… listened cheerfully… followed their morning routine and thanked you for everything you do?
 
Of course not!! That doesn’t happen!
 
They slapped each other at the breakfast table, were mad that you didn’t make them what they wanted, ignored your pleading, and moved in slow-motion with one leg in their pants for half an hour. 
 
This is the reality in most households all over the world and not just in the mornings… It’s all day, every day, and it is exhausting.

Parenting is hard
and
it’s getting harder!!
 
The world is very different today and the parenting methods that worked on us when we were children and teens don’t really work very well anymore.
 
You’re not imagining it… Kids are more challenging today!
 
Children and teens today are feisty, spicy, and often very difficult to please… Many of them are what I like to call “gladiators”. Parenting today is frustrating, worrying, and at times completely exhausting.
 
Kids have access to much more information, have so many more experiences, and feel comfortable challenging their parents, but they are actually far more anxious!
 
Here is what you need to know… Behavior is never the problem.  It is a symptom of the problem and many behaviours like defiance, anger, temper tantrums, sibling rivalry, procrastination, and difficulty with transitions actually stem from anxiety. Anxiety either goes inward into clinginess, refusing to take risks, teariness and crying or outward into bossiness, prickly,  controlling and defiant behavior. Once you understand the nature of anxiety and address it, behavioural change follows along with decreased anxiety and increased calm.

"Who to be as Parents... “Connected Parenting” advises us not just how to parent, but far more important – who to be as parents. The therapeutic methods suggested by Jennifer Kolari are based not on simple-minded behavioral solutions, but on building warm, nurturing relationship with our children, with insight and compassion not only for their little flaws, but also for our own larger ones."

"Hi Jennifer... it was a total Breath of fresh air. Thank you for not making me feel crazy. For making me feel like I’m an ok mother! Thank you for empathizing with us parents on this hard road. My kids come from trauma so there’s that whole other layer. Anyhow, I just had to send a note to let you know that I’m so thankful for your support. I am going to listen to it probably 20 times. I need the CALM technique. Thanks again! ♥️"

"“We felt we had tried every parenting technique in the world and nothing seemed to make a difference in helping us and our son cope with the difficult behaviors he has because of ADHD. It felt like there was no light at the end of the tunnel. Then we found Connected Parenting. These strategies were crucial to rebuilding the bonds of trust and respect that the challenging behaviors had eroded.”"
