There´s no "but" in dyregulation
Yes, I want to talk to you today about “buts”…
Focus now. I’m not talking about the ass kind- I’m talking about the actual word “but”
As in “I know my child is dysregulated BUT…”
Or
“I know they’re hungry BUT that’s not how they should behave…”
And even
“BUT my niece, or my 2nd child, or my neighbor’s cousin's playmate was able to handle that just fine…”
It seems like an innocent enough word but (haha) it’s likely the culprit behind a lot of power struggles, meltdowns, and stress.
I know you might be rolling your eyes right now thinking “holy crap another word I have to avoid?”.
As parent’s we’re lectured often about the word “no”, “stop”, and other quips. And I know that can be overwhelming since it feels like we have to constantly be monitoring what we say- but this isn’t necessarily about avoiding that word.
It’s more about managing what we’re expecting, especially when our child is dysregulated.
On this class we´ll discuss:
- Why the word “but ” could be doing more damage than good.
- How to handle your kid when they´re dysregulated.
- What a good replacement might be.
