Video insights

@drdeborahparenting's TikTok video "Mom turns to fix the stroller and says, "Stay." Her child runs, and now she has to chase him. She needed him close while her hands were on the stroller. That makes sense. But "stay" does not tell him exactly where his body needs to be. Here's what to do instead. Make the proximity rule concrete for the place you are in. Before you turn your attention away, bring your child close and give them something specific to do: "Hold my hand while I fix the stroller." At the store: "Keep one hand on the cart." At the airport: "Stand beside me while I check the bag." The location changes. The meaning stays consistent. If they leave that position, move them back immediately. Now your child knows exactly where "stay close" means in each environment, and you know the point when you need to intervene. That is the Proximity Training System from The Parenting OS. If you want clear systems for telling your child exactly where to stay in public and knowing when to step in, get the Parenting OS. #ParentingTips #ParentCoach #ParentSupport #ParentingCommunity #Parenting" has 18,356 views, 511 likes, 7 comments, 46 shares in the public metrics captured by this index.
