Video insights

@mike_on_parenting's TikTok video "Sometimes the problem isn’t that our kids won’t listen. Sometimes… we’re just asking them to do a LOT. Think about how many times a day your child hears: “Go do this…” “Stop doing that” “Come here” “Put that away” “Get ready” “Don’t touch that” Individually, these requests might be completely reasonable. But stacked on top of each other all day long? It can feel overwhelming to a kid… and they’ll communicate “it’s too much” with their behavior. So before giving another direction, try asking yourself: “Do I really need to tell them to do this?” Sometimes I can simply start doing it myself: “Uhh… I’ll get the blocks.” And then just start… Kids will often jump in and say..”I’ll get the trucks!” Not because I tricked them into cleaning. Because kids often respond differently when we stop turning every little thing into a demand. And yes… sometimes they’ll just watch you clean up. 😂 That’s okay too. This isn’t about doing everything for your child. It’s about becoming more intentional about which things actually need to be a demand and which things don’t. Try reducing just a few demands today and see what changes. Less telling. More showing. Less friction. More connection. #parentingtips #parentingadvice #positiveparenting #parentingsolutions #momlife" has 11,623 views, 705 likes, 11 comments, 425 shares in the public metrics captured by this index.
