“I used to shout at the kids, because I didn’t know what else to do and I felt like I was losing control. Of course this just taught them to fear my outbursts yet learn nothing from them except to shout in return, and at each other. All the noise I taught them to make would trigger my anger.
I had these three awesome small children and I was ruining it. I was afraid they would grow up and not trust me.
…It’s been about ten months since I met Camilla and I realised recently that I almost never shout anymore and haven’t for quite a while. We don’t have a ‘naughty step’ or send our kids to their rooms because we don’t need to, I talk to them instead. Consequences to actions are relevant so I don’t need to make pointless, unrelated threats of punishment. I don’t feel like the kids are deliberately trying to wind me up all the time because I have learned to see situations for what they really are. I am less reactive. I finally feel like I can understand my children and give them what they need to succeed but I have learned to also be very comfortable in setting my boundaries. I can validate and sympathise but I don’t have to agree.”
I support parents to restore harmony to their household and fun to their family life.
I have a teen and a nearly teen and I know just what it’s like to navigate the trials and tribulations of parenting.
My husband, son and I wanted to go to a well-known chicken restaurant, and although I know it’s not my daughter’s favourite, I also know she does eat chicken. In the past, I might have changed my preference, worried about how my daughter would react, or I would have tried to convince and persuade her, or
Taking things off her or stopping her doing something she loves hasn’t worked. Speaking to her calmly about her behaviour and what’s going on hasn’t helped at all. Even getting her grandmother to speak with her hasn’t made the slightest difference!! Where am I going wrong and what do I do?? Everything ends up with
Language of Listening® the coaching model I use and teach, is going to be your little piece of parenting magic that stops the tantrums for good. You’ll be wondering “Why did no one ever tell me before?” SO, what’s the difference? The difference between the Language of Listening® approach to dealing with tantrums and that
I talk through with them how accidents happen and that it’s kind to show that you’re genuinely sorry for causing any pain. I certainly demonstrate it when I’m at fault! How do I get them to say sorry?” MY ANSWER The first thing to know is that you’re not alone, your disappointment in their reactions
Growing up I was told that if you let a child win, then they won’t want to lose. In fact I found it’s the complete opposite. If you have a child who HAS to win, it’s driven by a NEED. These are real needs, getting your needs met is an innate drive for all humans.
My answer: Ahh mealtime battles! They sure can take over family life. The time we want to be enjoying our family and instead we’re dealing with screaming, sulking children and at least one child running around like a loon. No wonder it feels so stressful. What stands out of me with this mum is how
“Thank you! We can’t stress this enough – thank you!
You have brought calm into our house and I have 4 children under 8 so calm isn’t something I am used to!
We were trying. We’d read all the books but your course helped put the important points into focus and helped us realise out behaviour and response to our children’s normal behaviour was what needed to change.
‘Say what you see’ – such a simple concept has changed our life. Building our children up celebrating their positives instead of reminding them what they have done wrong. Camilla teaches through experience and example and explains how to achieve this even when your children are pushing all buttons and making you feel powerless she has the answer to regain the calm in the chaos without shouting, reward charts or threats!”
