Kate Silverton Instagram – ALL behaviour is communication. 👍
It’s important to recognise the ‘unconscious’ drivers that lead our children to behave and do / say things we may not immediately understand
Behaviour that appears irrational, or ‘out of character’ usually has its origins in our nervous system and is acted upon by the more ancient parts of our brain – the parts I visualise as a little skittish lizard
If our children are fearful of something , they ( their brain ) will understandably want to avoid it
So remember to get CURIOUS – before you judge your child’s behaviour 🤔
If they are reluctant to go to school, or they are doing something that puzzles you
Our first consideration should be NOT ‘they’re being naughty!’ But rather we must wonder why ..
Then we can ask our children – without judgement ‘sweetheart I’m wondering about x / y … can you help me to understand?’
You can perhaps add
‘If you can help me to understand how it feels for you – then I can really help … ‘
These conversations take time and trust .. in my books I explain the importance of having the ‘ten C’s in place that will help our parenting in those moments when we’re at a loss
I offer scripts / tips and tools to guide you and your child through the challenges we will all face as parents .. and see you soothing and smiling as you do! ❤️
