What to do when they’re being demanding

Our first video blog!

Hey there!  I’m so excited about my very first Awake Parent video blog!  In today’s blog I’m answering a question from my friend Marcella, who’s having some challenges with her stepson.  Sometimes he has a “demanding attitude” and Marcella is ready to transform this irritating behavior.  Oh!  And prepare yourself for our new audio program “Perspectives on Feelings” which will be available in August!  More info coming soon about that. First, a quick video on dealing with a demanding attitude…

I would love to know what you think of my video blog.  Please leave your feedback and comments below so that we can offer you the best, most helpful parenting blog ever.  And, if you’d like to share about your own experiences, we’d love to hear them.  Lastly, if you have a specific question you’d like us to write about or record a video on, please email us!

Love and hugs,
Shelly

Fantastic. You have a gift with sharing this information so well... finding deeper truths. I love how important it is to you to not shut children down or telling them they wrong. Just seeing the deeper need behind the expression. Thank you!

winlawomyn Thank you so much for your kind words. Lately I've been thinking about the purpose of Awake Parent and yesterday I remembered (again) that empowering young people is a big reason I'm inspired to do this work. It's not enough to support parents, just for them, I also have a vision of raising a generation of kids who know their worth and aren't afraid to live extraordinary lives. It sounds like you and I are on the same page there! Sending you big hugs, Shelly

What your kids really want when they act out, throw tantrums and misbehave

"Perspectives on Feelings" is everything you ever wanted to know about how to deal with a child's complex emotions without losing your head . . .
