Um, the L step is the limit setting step, which is this is the moment I'm stating a family agreement, I'm telling you a limit, I'm stating a reality, this is this is what it is, this is the L step.
And the P step is the problem solving step.
This is a moment to use some creativity to give your child a couple of choices.
to engage their problem solving mind.
and to move through the dilemma to the other side.
So A L P
Yeah.
Yeah, it's so powerful.
And I think it's um it's, you know, we have all these voices in our heads or these ideas as parents when something comes up that's challenging or our kids are suffering for whatever reason or they're they're frustrated, angry, mad, you know, sad, uh they're being they're having a difficult moment.
that it's so hard to pause and let that let that be, let them, you know, ride that emotional wave, so to speak, and not want to jump in necessarily and fix it or judge them or hurry them along.
Or um, you know, make it go away.
I think that's such an important part of having kids feel understood and like their feelings have a place to go.
And they can sort of let the wave come and go that way.
It's huge and it's such a connecting moment and it also really makes you more effective in what you say next.
Yeah, I think it's kind of I think it's a good idea to test out a few and see what works.
So for example, I mean the first step is just recognizing a difficult emotion and maybe counting, you know, counting to three.
Um, if you're in a safe place and there's nothing urgent going on that that you count to three, count to ten, take a deep breath.
Sometimes you might need to say,
Um, mommy actually needs a timeout for a second or I need to take a calm down is what we we would call it.
Um, and remove yourself if you need to.
