Children's threats: What they mean and how to respond
If you don't give me a lollipop, I won't be your friend anymore.”
Said to a sibling: “If you don’t come and sit down, I'll take your toy.”
“If you don't give me candy before dinner, I'll hit you.”
Has your child made threats like this (or worse ones) when things don't go their way?
Whether it’s yelling, “I’ll never be your friend again!” or threatening to hurt you, hearing these words can stop you in your tracks.
Why do our kids say things like this? Where do they even get the idea to use threats, when we've never said anything like this to them and we don't think they've heard it from screen time either?
In this week's episode we'll dig deeply into these questions, and learn how to respond both in the moment the threat has happened - as well as what to do to reduce future threats.
You’ll hear:
An step-by-step strategy to deal with a real-life example - from the parent whose child said "If you don't lie down with me I will shatter your eyeballs!"
The phrases we use with our kids that might unintentionally encourage this kind of behavior
Specific, practical tools to use in the moment - and long before tensions escalate
Are you ready to turn these tough moments into opportunities for deeper connection?
Tune in,to the episode today.
And what happens to you when your child threatens you?
Do you lose your mind?
Do you freak out that you might be raising a child who needs help to defuse violent tendencies, and then yell at them because their threats are SO INAPPROPRIATE?
Hopefully this episode reassures you that that isn't the case. But that may not eliminate your triggered feelings - because these don't always respond to logic.
If you know you need help with your triggers but don't know what to do, come to the FREE Why You're So Angry With Your Child's Age-Appropriate Behavior - and What To Do About It (without stuffing down your feelings and pretending that you aren't angry) masterclass.
Finally understand the causes of your triggered feelings and find out how to feel angry less often - in just 36 minutes. Watch the recording anytime it's convenient for you, then join me for a FREE LIVE Q&A session and coaching from 10-11:30am Pacific on Thursday February 6. (We'll send you a recording in case you can't attend - although you have to be there to get your questions answered and win great prizes!)

    I found this video very compelling! It should have way, way more views. It would have been great if you added more real life examples of what constitutes a time-out right at the beginning, because at around 4:00 the description is very technical. So an additional tiny explanation in simpler terms with a bit of storytelling (especially for us non-English speakers) would have been great. Other than that, such a good video and definitely food for thought. Different popular figures and psychologists have very different views on this form of disciplining the child, and it got me really confused over the years. And the confusing part is that unlike regular people, all these psychologists presumably know how to read studies. My understanding is that when you discipline a child, you presumably help them foster an ability for self-discipline, because in the future lack of compliance to the world's demands or even the person's own demands to themselves may result in general problems in life. However, I also understand that withholding human interaction, especially with the caregiver, and presuming that the child has a capability for self control at a certain age (instead of needing a caregiver to co-regulate) may be a huge issue at the moment, and down the road. So I'll definitely watch for the next episode to further try to understand this.

    Proverbs 13:24 [24]He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes*. Proverbs 23:13-14 [13]Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. [14]Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell. Deuteronomy 21:18-21 [18]If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: [19]Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; [20]And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. [21]And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear. *Can you explain “betimes?” 04/17/2022 Christian ambassador (Shawn Brasseaux) CAN YOU EXPLAIN “BETIMES?” by Shawn Brasseaux “Betimes,” although unfamiliar to us, is actually derived from two easy words we know all too well-“by” and “time.” The concept being communicated is soon, early, or in good time; it is in contrast to something being late or stalled. We find it five times in the King James text: Genesis 26:31: “And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.” 2 Chronicles 36:15: “And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:….” Job 8:5: “If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;….” Job 24:5: “Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children.” Proverbs 13:24: “He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.”

    Hi. I am an RN, the owner of the Marina's Emotional Support as well as CTMH-A and SSP provider, and ISPW facilitator. It seems to me that, taking from your own words, you do not really understand PVT. I doubt also that you have any background in analyzing research. With all due respect, I must say that It would be helpful to get educated first because otherwise, you are repeating non-sense said by other people and spreading misinformation. Paul Grossman has not come up with his own theory, he just started attacking someone else's because he himself never looked at his traumas that prevent him from seeing clearly. Whatever arguments he presented do not really apply. Lizards do not nurse their young - period the end. He never reached out to Dr. Porges to discuss his concerns either but rather went ahead with his agenda to discredit his work, which btw, I find revolutionary. PVT already helped so many people realize their humanness and be on the road to recovery that no Paul Grossman and others who are on the same page with him, can stop it.

So, I literally have reached a place where I have just accepted that I am no longer capable of any range of human interaction on any level.

Secondly, to say or infer rodents are not Highly social not just with respect to nursing but the full range of social signaling, play and even as being measured shown but Panksepp, laughter is absurd. Equally laughable , we are talking are talking about mammalian social behavior and its specific anatomical and physiological correlates. Not reptilian “social behavior” and its unmyelineated dorsal vagal immobilization characteristics. As far as the other criticisms they are embarrassingly inaccurate or tangential. Neuroanatomically and neurophysiologically the differences between the structure and function of the ventral vagal complex (V, VII, IX, X and XI) and two visceromotor myelinated pathways, bronchi and sinoatrial node (pacemaker) of the heart are foundational and incontrovertible in evolutionary distinction of the vegetative vagus (dorsal motor complex). Porges also extensively talks about the vagus corticobulbar pathways into higher brain functions (temporal lobe, periacqueductal grey, amygdala etc.

    3 examples of how body language is not universal: 1. In India, there are not one, but several nuanced variations of what Westerners know as “nodding”. 2. Bulgarians shake their heads for “Yes”, and nod for “No” 3. Most Asians do not gesture “Come here” the way Westerners do. They would consider that degrading - since it is reserved for animals. They wave their hand in a flapping motion towards the ground. Also, most all cultural responses are quite different in collectivist (Asian) societies as opposed to individualistic cultures (American, British, Australian, Canadian, etc.).

    • @Neilgs
      @Neilgs 2 місяці тому

      That has zero to do with PVT. Cultural variation with respect to the specific semantic facial and somatic expressed form does not contravene the clearly visible and underlying autonomic state. Galvanic skin response, the pupils of the eyes (ie, parasympathetic relaxed state and constricted or sympathetic excited state, enlarged); heart rate variability and vocal inflection/intonation - irrespective of phenotypical or particular external cultural form does not lie! They are in fact identical. Take an Indian or Bulgarian or a Papua New Guinean when suddenly happening upon a tiger facing them will have identical sympathies adrenal fight/flight or in other cases (depending upon the person) dorsal vasovagal syncope (ie, parasympathetic metabolic shutdown or fainting/passing out).

There is a direct causal relationship. Much of Steve’s work is entirely borne out by human embryology.

    Core affective emotions are universally hardwired, parabrachial nucleus, part of the lateral reticular formation, the periacqueductal gray, hypothalamus, etc. Seeking System/Curiosity, Panic, Sadness, Rage, Lust,, Nurturance/love, Play/Laughter. The outward various cultural expressions may subtly vary but they are identical with respect to accompanied autonomic state. If you prefer looking at animals they are the same.

    It's always so funny to me when Boomers pretend that history began with them and will also end with them, and there's nothing outside of that... The evidence for the efficacy of spanking is hundreds of thousands of years of human experience. People always did it, and it always worked. Instead of looking at this vast amount of human experience, they ask for studies... But what sort of studies do these "science based" Boomers have? They are almost always ones that (intentionally?) lump together the cases where the alcoholic dad, who just got out of prison beats the whole family to a pulp; with cases where responsible parents use spanking as a last deterrent, rarely implemented, and never in anger, in an environment that is otherwise based on positive reinforcement. Could it be possible that these wonderfully enlightened Boomers were/are wrong in all their assumptions?

    This is so tricky. I really want to be on board with this. The psycho/social aspect makes great sense. But I think the importance of nutritional quality may be underappreciated? I see a very clear relationship between my toddler having a sugary snack without enough protein/fat/fiber and having wild meltdowns or getting crazy hungry later (including the middle of the night). I know if I ate just a bowl of blueberries and two pieces of white bread (or even whole grain bread) for dinner I'd be icky-hungry in the middle of the night. Or if I ate that for breakfast I'd feel sluggish. My adhd is absolutely worse if I eat high carbs with minimal little protein/fat. I wonder whether a young child can make the connection between what they ate and how they feel (possibly hours later). So tricky. Really appreciated your questions!

    There are COUNTLESS well adjusted humans that have been spanked who have turned out to be much more respectful and high functioning adults than those who have been loosely parented and molded into snowflakes. Depends on who is doing the research. People will always find information to support their views. I was spanked here and there and in all honesty I was not and am not traumatized. I have rarely heard anyone say they are traumatized by being spanked. There is spanking and there is beating and they are not the same. We need to have conversations about what we need to do to raise strong, humble, and confident adults.

    This one really connected with me. I’m not a parent, but I find many of your podcasts so useful for my work as an educator. Most days I witness at least one coworker yelling at a child, getting in their face, and doling out punishments. The children’s needs are rarely, if ever, taken into consideration. Similar to your compassion for your stepmother, I recognize that many of my fellow educators behavior comes from a place of their own overwhelm and frustration - not a genuine malice towards children. In the American school system it is very hard to get your professional needs met in a consistent way. Still, I see how this leads to children disengaging over time. Not just with school, but often learning altogether. School is something forced upon them in the first place. Plain and simple. In much of the US, kids have little choice throughout k-12 in what they are learning and how they are learning it. I so wish there was a “Teaching Beyond Power” spin off (or even one time episode) discussing how your philosophy can apply to adults working with children in professional contexts. The cultural roles of parenting and educating are a fascinating intersection. I’d be happy to share more of my own experiences and thoughts if you or your team would be open to chatting. Thanks for all you do.

    Ok, this neil chap seems to have blocked me after telling me i dont know what I'm talking about, so my replies to him aren't posting, so I'm gonna say what i have to say to him here. 😂LOL, ok, neil-guy who apparently has swallowed the PV garbage whole hog... 1. No self respecting physiologist supports this hairbrained non "theory". 2. Predictive processing reduces the entire bag of PV garbage ideas to folk psychological nonsense. But hey, enjoy your steak while that ship sinks, 🍻.

    I mean most drugs have very little sound scientific evidence that they’re safe or effective and they’re used radically more than this theory is. Evidence in a lot of science often seems to mean ‘we made a study and lied with statistics leaving out critical variables by cherry picking results and many other means in order to get the results we want’. Everyone seems to challenge the results only when it’s an approach they don’t like.

    Many who got spanked as a kid say they don't resent their parents. They grew up normally and well-behaved and successful in life. I was one. It's effective when done right and destructive in excess'. Obviously parents shouldn't enjoy spanking -but because they don't like to do it doesn't mean it's bad. There's good physical discipline and totally unacceptable physical discipline. Most kids don't need to be, and shouldn't be, spanked. However, nothing wrong with spanking strong willed kids for severe disciplinary infractions after other means are exhausted.

    You raise some interesting points and I appreciate the level of detail. I wanted to address this comment: "surely if PVT were completely invalid, there would be an absolute dog pile of research from people anxious to disprove it." In reality, what I have heard from researchers is most could care less about PVT because to them it is so obviously wrong. They simply don't have the time for it.

      Honestly, you do not know what you are talking about. Polvagal Theory has been cited in over 20,000+ peer reviewed publications since its inception.

    For entertainment purposes only, I go back and listen once again. The reason Polyvagal theory is not falsifiable is that the science supporting it is derived from long established, well- substantiated facts in neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuroendocrinology and embryology. You are very confused. "The vagal nerve is not the 'cause' of social differences." The vagus nerve is simply a conduit. It is affect -reciprocal co-regulatory engagement (i.e., neuroceptive and interoceptive cues of safety or danger) that then results in shifts in vagal regulation and cardiac tone (e.g., RSA). Your quoting of Dr. Doody@ 1:15 , (his points) are risible to the point of utter absurdity. It stands as a laughingstock on the basis of facts. 1) Mammals did not evolve from "modern reptiles" that's correct, however, they did indeed evolve from a common ancestor to both reptiles and mammals. 2) It is both tragically sad and hilarious that you believe that reptiles are social in any shape manner or form like mammals. Reptiles do not engage in nurturing their young, nursing, grooming, playing, laughing; up regulating (affective states of joy) and down regulating (affective states of sadness or crying) through social-engagement. They do not down regulate cues of threat through social play and engagement. Their dominant neuroanatomical and neurophysiological response under threat is to immobilize. They do not have at their disposal the mammalian myelinated ventral vagal complex. Because their oxygenation requirements are 500% less than the mammalian brain, they can without harm immobilize (i.e., feign death) when under life threat. The cardioinhibitory fibers clustered and migrated from the dorsal motor nucleus to form the nucleus ambiguus and significantly coordinate and inter-neuronally link with the five cranial nerves (V, VII, IX, X and XI) to form the social-emotional autonomic nervous system (the ventral vagal complex) of mammals. We don't need to turn to phylogeny but simply our owbn human embryology to see how our physiology and associated pathways ways form. Of course the brain was re-wired in mammals to express sociality and down-regulate defense (i.e., the migration of the cardioinhibitory fibers neuroanatomically linked and coordinated with the five cranial nerves mentioned and visceromotor pathways, sinoatrial node and bronchi forming the ventral vagal complex). That my "informed one" is a truism. It is not even in question! That is not a "just-so" story that is a phylogenetic and neuroanatomical fact! However, we do not need to turn to evolution from a-social reptiles to mammalian autonomic nervous system, we simply can look IN THE PRESENT at how the autonomic nervous system in babies develop, Embryology. They transition precisely through the same stages, dorsal motor nucleus to a myelinated ventral vagal complex. "Heart-rate variability is not the reason we over-react in certain situations." Heart rate variability and specifically RSA is a window, a measurement of the efficiency of the vagal brake, which reflects, key word, reflects ( NOT causes) how safe, unsafe or withdrawal/shut down we feel with others and our environment. You have it backwards. Cited in some 15,000 peer-reviewed articles. The theory is not wrong.

      Neil, why are all your comments so acidic and aggressive when discussing this topic ? this is not the first video I find your comments on and it seems very personal to you, the way you address this points you are trying to make and the way you speak to some people in your responses. What is going on here ?

      @@RaduP3 "What is going on here? Well for the life of me, I simply don't know? I am, alas, at a complete and utter lost! Perhaps some deep pondering or reflective supervision is in order? What you say? If you have something meaningful to say with respect to Polyvagal Theory and my comments about the theory then by all means do so! Otherwise, spare me! There are so many inaccuracies here and elsewhere, but most probably due to a lack of education on the well-established and substantive evidence in neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuroendocrinology and mammalian and human embryology, where Polyvagal Theory is derived. So speculations, assertions and doubts about what it is actually saying and its questionable status or legitimacy is enormously frustrating! Those who are misinformed either due to a lack of understanding of Polyvagal theory or in other instances, shall we say, should know better and thus willfully misleading (not here), essentially strawman arguments that have been completely and entirely debunked is not acceptable!
