What sound sets you off? Nails on a chalk board? Your co-worker loudly noshing on pretzels? Neighborhood leaf blowers?
If you’re like most parents, hearing your kid scream (at their sibling, at you, at their friend) triggers you more than any landscaping equipment or loud breather.
And so often we respond by screaming back “Stop yelling!” and then we’re caught in a fun little dance with our kid called “who can get louder.”
Good times.
But there is a way we can use play and imagination to change the volume level in our homes. It's called “animal talk.”
On today's episode, Carley shares how to use this game to help our kids use a tone of voice that is strong but calm.
This role-play game is simple yet powerful. It lets everyone get playful in stressful moments and gives you a tool for turning down your kid's volume and finding a little more peace and quiet at home.
