Parenting issues

What kind of thing do you feel like you’ve done wrong? x

It’s never too late for anything - sometimes just a little harder. Come up with a new plan with your partner and work as a team. Your LO is still young :)

I echo @Francesca and to @El point , what do you think you’ve done wrong? Depending on what it is, there are different ways to pivot and course correct. The course correction starts with you first —then your kiddo. Kids take their cues from us—I know it may not seem like it, but they really do. So you would have to pivot your responses, your mental framework, and your default reaction (which can be hard) before even attempting to change your daughter’s behavior. When you start to change, it might take her a minute to adjust —so she’ll throw a tantrum or have a meltdown and put up a fight—it’ll get harder before it gets better 😅😅—but trust, it will get better. I started with “mama is not going to fight with you on this. I’m not going to argue, we’re not going yell. It’s either you do it or I do it? Which one do you want?” On paper this sounds harsh—but when I say it to my LO, I’m saying it calmly and thoughtfully. But I’m not putting on my baby voice, and I’m not yelling.

A content person who’s really awesome with this is Mr.Chazz. He’s part of the conscious discipline group and his material is so awesome. And he actually provides steps and ways for how you can pivot. Because a lot of these individuals only tell you that you are doing parenting wrong. But none of them really give you ways of how to be better, or a path forward and you end up just feeling like a bad mom 😣; but he doesn’t. This was the first content of his that I watched that totally helped me understand what I was doing, how I can be better, and what to do to be better. https://www.instagram.com/mrchazz/reel/C63zVCus0N9/?hl=en

Thank you everyone, that’s all really helpful. Was having a wobble and things don’t seem like the end of the world anymore 🥴. It’s just things like - we pick our battles as we have a very head strong, determined (and wonderful) daughter - but we have probably let more slip than we should, and we do have a dictator, so we’re being firmer about more than just letting everything slide for the easier ride 🥴. To be honest - it’s going better than I expected!
