The Magic of One-On-One Time

Today's episode was recorded during an live event I did on Behavior Corner, LLC's Facebook page.  Here is the page link: https://www.facebook.com/BehaviorCorner/ Because our lives have changed so drastically over the last few weeks, I am asking a very important question: Have you asked your kids how they are feeling? Have you asked them what they think about all of this?  The thoughts of illness (even if your family is healthy) and living through quarantine can create stress for your children. Their brains are still developing and they struggle to fully comprehend what all of this means. Common behaviors that you may see during this time include: *kids craving extra attention and becoming clingy *increased tearfulness *disruption of restful sleep *increase of negative behaviors Today we unravel triggers that may be contributing to these behaviors and solutions to help you support your children during these crazy times! **Join our closed group to get an up close look of the image we referred to during this podcast: https://www.facebook.com/groups/BehaviorCorner/ **Reach out to me via email at [email protected]**

This is a time where we are stronger together. Together with our kids. Together with our support network. Together as parents. Although much of this "together" time must occur online vs. in-person with those living outside our homes - - it is still crazy important to know that you are not alone and there are answers during this time. In today's episode we are sticking "together" as we discover strategies that your kids can do on their own! We also talk about strategies for you as their parent. Most importantly, we explore the bright-side of this current crisis. Yes, there is a bright-side! Contact me: [email protected]

Behaviors improve when we spend quality time with our kids! Better yet, behaviors improve when we spend one-on-one time with our kids.

Having empathy is a life skill that kids start learning as young as toddler age.

No matter the age of your children, you can start teaching them about empathy now.
