Episode 326
Many children with big emotions crave consistency, but how can we be consistent when life gets in the way? There are so many things to juggle as a parent — extracurriculars, homework, schedule changes, work trips, family visits — and we’re tired. The good news is that there’s an alternative to consistency that is much easier to achieve as a busy parent (and it has all the same benefits!).
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to reduce the pressure on yourself and still meet your kids’ needs
- The difference between predictability and consistency
- What it feels like to be on the receiving end of this strategy
