How to Teach Your Kids to Solve Conflicts Without Yelling or Punishment
Manage episode 489666345 series 3659064
Does your house feel like a battleground where you're constantly playing referee between sibling fights?
Hi, I'm Natalie McCabe. I'm here with Suzie Forbes, a pediatric occupational therapist and mom who discovered that giving kids real power in problem-solving changes everything. In this episode, we're talking about collaborative solutions that actually work with strong-willed kids, specifically how one simple tool can end the daily battles. Here's what we cover:
- "We Have a Problem" method for solving conflicts
- Stolen moments self-care that kids automatically start copying
- Why safety first makes every parenting tool actually work
- How these skills show up in her adult kids today
This isn't about more rules or consequences. It's about partnership that builds lifelong problem-solving skills. Less you fixing everything. More them learning to think it through. Ready to transform those power struggles into connection?
