Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- When I ask my kid about their day I get one-word answers, and I realize I only ever ask about homework and chores
- I end up saying the same thing five times, louder each time, until I’m basically yelling before anything happens
- I only ever speak up to my kid when something’s wrong
- My kid only seems to come at me when they want something or when they’re acting out, and I realize the only time I really pay full attention is when I’m correcting them
- My kid is mid-meltdown and I’m kneeling there explaining why they can’t have it, getting more reasonable while they get more wild, and none of my logic is landing
