Beautiful Behavior Diane Sorensen

Most of us have had this fear somewhere within us, that I might possibly mess up my kids. Is it true? Can I mess up my kids?

Today, I’m diving a bit deeper into this popular parent worry and what drives it. Let’s get curious together and look under the hood.

Today, I am sharing my thoughts on Mothering. Mother’s Day can mean many things to many people. In a culture that judges mothers based on their child’s behavior, mothering can be extremely stressful. Who did I have to
be for my mother to be seen as a good mother? Who do my children have to be for me to be seen as a good mother? When we are not willing to look at
our truth it will eventually come out sideways. If we don’t heal our own wounds (the things that trigger us) we WILL hand these wounds to the next generation.

“Boredom is a defense to emotional awareness.”

                                                          -Gary Zukav

On today’s episode we are talking about boredom.

Boredom is a form of resistance. It is resistance to
becoming aware of what you are feeling. This is the ROOT of boredom.

Boredom is not right or wrong nor good or bad. Boredom is natural.

We can fall into drama roles around boredom. Boredom can be empowering, building skills such as
initiative, self-reliance, and problem-solving skills as well as creativity, curiosity, and flexibility. It also builds tolerance for discomfort.

Allowing your children to own their own boredom and find their own solutions is essential in helping them build important life skills.

In this episode you will learn how to use boredom as an opportunity and ways to respond to your child when they proclaim, “I’m bored.”

Today’s episode is the third part of a three-part series defining the difference between punishment, consequences and boundaries. These three
topics are often misunderstood and can become intertwined. They are, however,
very different. Today we are talking about boundaries.

Let's break it down:

Punishment – Blame. Focused on the problem.

Consequence – Support. A plan for a new outcome. Focused on solutions.

Boundaries – How I get my own needs met. Also, solution
focused.

Boundaries is all about taking ownership of my own thoughts, feelings and actions. It is about living in alignment with my truth. Boundaries require radical self-awareness. They are liberating. Boundaries put you in
control of you. Boundaries are between YOU and YOU even when they involve other people. It is not your responsibility to manage other people’s response to your
truth. It is not other people’s responsibility to maintain your boundaries.

Tune in to today’s episode to find out the truth about
boundaries.

Today’s episode is the second part of a three-part series in
providing more clarity around punishment, consequences and boundaries.

I find that these three things can be wildly misunderstood.

I am offering this series to provide some clarity around how each of these is different. Often, we use these words interchangeably however, each carry a different energy, purpose and impact.

On this episode, we dive into effective consequences.

Key takeaways:

· A true consequence is about how one FEELS about
the impact of their choices and actions

· Effective Consequences are about taking ownership
of one’s choices and actions

· Trust must be present to take ownership

· Effective Consequences focus on solutions rather
than the problem

· Effective Consequences create problem solvers

· Effective Consequences keep self-worth in tact

· With Effective Consequences the child becomes
part of the solution

· Effective Consequences is about solving a
problem without diminishing anyone in the process

· 3 elements of Effective Consequences are:
Reflection, Make a plan, Follow-up

· 3 types of Effective Consequences are: Natural, Logical
and Problem Solving
