Hey Parents, Stop Talking! Episode 197

In this episode of The Peaceful Parenting Podcast, Corey and I cover eight different times when parents tend to talk too much to their kids! We cover times when you can make minor tweaks such as when kids are engrossed in play or when we are giving kids directions. As well as major changes we can make such as not talking at all when kids are completely dysregulated or upset. “1, 2, 3, STOP TALKING!”

We talk about:

• 2:20 Stop talking when kids are engrossed in play
• 4:17 We don’t have to make it a teachable moment
• 7:52 Giving unnecessary directions to our kids
• 10:33 Problems with praise
• 13:00 The Zone of Regulation as a guide for when and when not to talk
• 24:00 Over Explaining ourselves when setting limits
• 28:00 Avoiding safety chatter
• 30:45 Stop talking when kids have a problem
