Video insights

@mike_on_parenting's TikTok video "Sometimes the more we try to figure out what our kids mean, the more frustrated everyone gets. They’re trying to explain something, ask for help, or show us what they want… but we’re interrupting, guessing, or interpreting what they’re saying. And before you know it, a simple communication disconnect turns into a full-blown frustration fest. 😅 Try this instead: “Show me” Two simple words that give your child the opportunity to guide you rather than forcing you to figure it out. Like this… 👉 Your child is trying to explain how they want something done. You keep guessing, and they keep saying “No! Not like that!” Instead of continuing to guess: “Okay, show me how you want me to do it” 👉 Your child is asking for something, but you’re not understanding what they mean. Instead of interrupting or assuming what they’re asking for: “Show me” You’re giving them space to communicate in a way that might be easier for them. And the goal isn’t to make your child do all the communicating. It’s to work together to find a way that helps both of you understand each other. The more effective our communication, the less unnecessary frustration we create. Next time you’re not quite understanding your child, try it! “Show me” Save this for the next communication disconnect. ❤️ #ParentingTips #PositiveParenting #ParentingHacks #ConnectedParenting #MikeOnParenting" has 1,792 views, 76 likes, 2 comments, 8 shares in the public metrics captured by this index.
