    Welcome! I'm Lori, and I founded Teach Through Love because I'm passionate about helping adults resolve daily conflicts and nurture children's development by using conscious communication.
    Parents, teachers, and caregivers are the most influential people in a child's life. My Conscious Parenting Courses and Communication Cards have helped thousands of parents and professionals break free of reactive patterns and unconscious beliefs about "discipline" that keep them stuck in negative cycles with kids.
    I want to help adults increase cooperation and connection by communicating in ways that help kids feel heard and capable of change. We can help them reach their full potential and learn to solve conflicts and collaborate with others when we shift how we respond to their needs and feelings.

    Re-fram ( from today.) Instead of demanding my 4 yr old gets out of the car by saying.." I asked you to get out of the car, I'm hot let's go now " I could have said. "I know you enjoy going for rides in the car, we are home now let's go in and get cooled down in the ac." Or " I know you like being in the car, its hot in there I can help you out of the car." Something like that. :)

    I love it. I've been resorting to the 5 perps lately especially with my four year old during this transition with a new born. Poor guy. We have great moments but I ruin them when I use these 4 techniques. :( I'll have to watch this video more to get it down and get my confidence back on how to engage politely. Thank you!!

    I have an adult ADHD with kids that are diagnosed with ADHD as well so you can just imagine the chaos at home daily but videos like these been helping me a lot. I also had to warn my husband and children when my mood isn't good. My kids are uncontrollable most of the times but they are good kids. For some reason, when you love your children, you can always find ways/solution to solve the problem and constantly fight your own demon to have that self control. Being constantly irritated, frustrated and stressed easily is a battle i have to overcome everyday but I really told my kids that we need to help each other and be understanding to each other. I also always have to warn them and tell them to ignore harsh words that comes out of my mouth when I can't control my anger because I don't mean any of it. Heart to heart talk is very important so that they understand deeply and we also educate ourselves about adhd. It really help

    My baby is 15 months and I’m living with my mom, who spanked/paddled us early. I’m finding that when I stop and breathe and do my best to communicate rather than commanding him to do things, he’s more receptive even though he’s doesn’t fully understand. I think Children really understand intent and they’re wired to communicate and connect.

    Hi Lori! Thanks for this video. It's nice there are videos like this to help parents with the essential parenting skill as this is one of the toughest skills to master. So just today, I got a call from my daughter's school and her teacher wants to meet up with me next week. I suspect that my daughter did something bad in school. And so I'm right coz when I talked to my daughter she told me she hit a classmate. I'm not going to bother getting into the details coz my concern is 'aggression e.g. Hitting a classmate' has been an issue for my daughter for five years. She is 10 years old now and in 4th grade. I'm very, very concerned that this has been happening for years and no matter how much I tell her it's bad and i'm sure she knows what to do, she can't control herself. I know she can't take other kids jokes/making fun of her and she always resolves to aggression. What donI need to do. I feel so frustrated.

    We live in an apartment complex with a playground, and my child was so excited to be outside, the other day, that he kept running from my sight and potentially endangering himself. I spanked him, but I feel like I could have acknowledged his excitement, held his hand, and told him that I could help him stay safe while his body felt like running in unsafe areas. I really hope I've gotten the gist of this video.

    At the end I said... I know you like to cooperate to the harmony of the family. Please help me dress you. He accepted.
    From the beginning I should have said.
    I know you like playing in the shower. I know it's fun. Now is time to go and play outside with the plane and the horse at the main hall. This should have helped.
    Let's try again to turn of the water and go play outside.
    Please give me some inputs... Now I'm feeling guilty.
    Love to you all.

    My four year old was helping me choose an item to pass out at her class's Halloween party. She wanted the more expensive toys and I tried to explain to her that I couldn't afford them. She became frustrated and said, "Mommy, if you don't buy this for me, I am going to scream. I WANT THESE!"
    I tried to stay calm but I was shaking. "I understand that you want that toy. You REALLY want it. I also see that you are feeling tired. You've had a long day at school, and you are probably exhausted. BUT, I need you to choose one of these smaller toys. Do you want this one, or that one?"
    I probably spoke too much, but she didn't win and we got the job completed. I should have known better than to take her shopping after a long day at school.

    Hi I was wondering if you could give me some advice. Lately mealtimes have been a struggle with my son. He is just over 2 1/2 years old and loves to play and explore a lot more than eat. My husband and I are unsure how to handle this without resorting to taking his toys away or turning off the TV or threatening to do so. We certainly don't want to punish him for being curious and liking to explore his world, but we also don't want him to go hungry. We have never had this sort of problem before he has always enjoyed his food and eating I assume it has something to do with his age. How can we get our son to stop playing and sit down and eat his food without resorting to tears and arguing?

    • @Suezy89
      @Suezy89 9 років тому +1

      Make mealtimes a fun experience. Show your appreciation of food. Put him on the counter as you make the food, and give him some of the veggies you're cutting. Name what you are eating. Teach him about spices and let him taste and smell the different kinds. It's great that you let him explore. Is there a possibility that he's not hungry?

    • @Suezy89
      @Suezy89 9 років тому

      And I understand your worry. All you can do is offer him food and he has the choice to eat it. If he doesn't, he will get hungry. He will learn to listen to his body and what he needs.

    • @skyspring2627
      @skyspring2627 9 років тому +1

      Thank you for the advice. I'm sure there are times where he's just not hungry, but he eats so little on the days where he's fighting against mealtime that it's hard to imagine that he's not hungry. We will have to try your tips. Thank you again.

    I get that it's normal and healthy to want to negotiate and persist... its the "stay calm and neutral" part that is the problem. There's only so much anyone can take, and while it's vital to be modeling calm positive behavior for them... that's a lot of pressure on a worn out, frustrated, never-gets-a-break mom whose barely keeping it together as it is. THAT's the parenting tips I need. I already know that getting frustrated is my problem, its the "how the heck to find some calm when they've repeatedly pushed every single trigger you have and won't give you room to calm the F down" that I need help with.

      Hi K&F Kenn - thanks for commenting. I know it's hard. We have to take care of our emotional health. There are no tips that "work" 100% of the time - and the goal is not to make your kids do what you want when you want. Obedience is a temporary solution usually created out of fear (which only limits children's real ability to be self-regulated) Here is the playlist for parent self-care.

He is in kindergarden about to start preschool this year he has been having problems putting his hands on people including the teachers today he had an incident where he was throwing chairs at the teacher. whenever he comes home from school we ask him what did he do that day what did he have for lunch did he learn anything sometimes we ask him on the ride home sometimes we wait until later on in the day it seems like he don't want to open up completely or he's having problems trying to explain himself or most common answers are I don't know, because or he will just agree if we suggest an answer. he is not my biological son he is my girlfriend's son and it's just him and her at the house he's never around in the violent or unproper people I guess you can say if you have any suggestions on trying to get him to open up that would be grateful

    "obedience is an unreasonable expectation for any age ", what? ??? so.....when should we expect our children to obey their authorities? the Bible is very clear about how to train children to become obedient. Proverbs is a WEALTH of guidance. i have a hard time taking this sweet lady's advice when that statement is her theme. so, if obedience is not the GOAL,then...,what's the point of the rest of the training? my 21 month old knows right from wrong, and is obedient to our requests about 90% of the time....i KNOW that obedience is a completely reasonable behavior to expect....with consistent firm, loving, discipline, and lots of love and attention, affirming his value to me, as my child.
    wow...still getting over her statement.
    parents there is hope, when we parent the way God says to. He made our children anyways, surely He knows how to train them to be productive, smart, strong and loving adults one day.

      TEACH through Love Hahahahaha, he was a socialist who thought that was better than market anarchy, so he's not even consistent with that quote. One shouldn't believe in the state (as it does not have sovereignty, morals/ethics apply on a universal human level), everyone believes in government, starting at the family level and extending to far greater complexity, such as in a church, general community, business hierarchy, etc, and that is an authority. Everyone also believes that they own themselves, and that is an ethical authority.
      Ps: The irony is not lost on me that you are making a point against "blindly following authority with an appeal to...authority, by a person who blindly believed in authority saying not to blindly believe in authority. Belief in authority is in no way wrong per se, it is completely natural and necessary for human society, and neither is "blind" belief in authority wrong per se as what the irrational see as blind belief have no understanding of what others, rational or irrational, have as a basis for their belief in an authority, and all belief is axiomatic, but then are axioms blind beliefs, should we not all be complete nihilists and relativists?

    Re-fram ( from today.) Instead of demanding my 4 yr old gets out of the car by saying.." I asked you to get out of the car, I'm hot let's go now " I could have said. "I know you enjoy going for rides in the car, we are home now let's go in and get cooled down in the ac." Or " I know you like being in the car, its hot in there I can help you out of the car." Something like that. :)
