Now that River is familiar with time-out, we're working on fostering respectful compliance and responding kindly, even when things don’t go his way. For me, it's important that my children trust and follow my guidance because I always have their best interests at heart. I expect kindness, not screams or pouts, and my 'ready to be nice' phrase is how we reset and move forward with respect. 💕✨ #gentleparenting #toddlertantrums #terribletwos #tantrums #momlife #momlifeunfiltered #timeout #momstruggles #parentingtips #parentingadvice #momtips #momadvice #momproblems

This is one of the consequences I use when my toddlers are physically hurting each other. Sending him to his room gives him the space to calm down and to reflect on his actions. Usually after about 5 minutes he's ready to apologize and be nice to others ❤️ #gentleparent #gentleparenting #gentleparentingtips #gentleparentinglife #toddlertantrums #tantrum #tantrums #parentingstruggles #parentingsupport #parentingskills #parentingtips #momssupportingmoms #momstruggles #momstrugglesarereal #toddlerdevelopment #toddlerlearning #momreels #momlifeunfiltered
