Video insights

@mike_on_parenting's TikTok video "3 things I tell myself when I’m about to lose my patience… And full disclosure: I have zero knowledge of whether these are scientifically efficacious 😂 What I do know is that they’ve worked for me dozens and dozens of times with my own kids, and with 100s of kids I’ve worked with over the years. ✨ Imagine your child is 20 years older. Would you still want to speak to them that way? ✨ Imagine another adult speaking to your child that way. Would you be okay with it? ✨ Imagine your boss using that same tone with you. How would you feel? For me, these little perspective shifts create just enough space between what my kid is doing and how I’m about to respond. And sometimes that tiny pause is everything. I still lose my patience. I still get frustrated. I still get it wrong. The goal isn’t to become a perfectly calm parent. It’s to get a little better at pausing before reacting. Because the way we speak to our kids isn’t just about getting them to listen in that moment. We’re also teaching them what respect, communication, and relationships can look like. Follow along and save this for the next time you feel yourself getting heated. ❤️ #positiveparenting #calmparenting #parentingadvice #parentingframework #parentinghelp" has 2,273 views, 145 likes, 1 comments, 42 shares in the public metrics captured by this index.
