Description

Do you ever find yourself imagining worst-case scenarios when you see your children in the messy middle of behaviors you don't like? It's difficult to see positive outcomes from negative behaviors - but that is exactly what I am teaching today, how to make room for grace in your parenting and help your children own their results.

This doesn't just apply to parenting though. I'm helping you consider how to think about the future in ways that serve you, and giving you tips and tools to feed your brain thoughts that are more helpful and open to possibility. 

It can be difficult to imagine the future without leaning towards a negativity bias. Join me as we explore how to recognize and shift unproductive 'future thinking' in your parenting and in your own life. 

I'm sharing in more detail the example of how I helped my son with his video games to illustrate how he worked through it  where he took ownership of his results that lead to him regulating himself without me nagging. I'm also offering practical tips for generating more 'future thinking' that serves you and helps you own more exciting, confident, successful  results you can be proud of.

What you'll learn on this episode:

• The hidden ways we think about our children may be holding them back and doing them a disservice. 
• Actionable tips for identifying and redirecting the brain to make room for grace in your thinking.
• Real-life examples of how imagining worst-case scenarios can create what you don't want instead of what you do want. 
• The power of thinking about the future in terms of possibility and excitement versus negative outcomes.
• Why changing the way you show up in your parenting can help your children own their results in powerful ways and build more connection in the relationship.
