They're like, oh yeah, he my brother always gets his way.

Or oh yeah, Mum always takes their side, or oh Mum always blames me.

So we're trying to just instead be neutral and to be their guide to help them negotiate and to help them solve the problems for themselves eventually.

So I won't actually then I'll be able to step back and they'll be able to resolve problems.

We're giving them empathy and tools.

And so yeah, maybe if they're older children, it might be actually a problem solving where we all write down suggestions of things that might be ways to solve the problem.

If it's over a toy, you probably won't need to get up, you know, to do a whole brainstorming.

But if it's about something that always seems to be a problem, like you guys really always argue over who's in the front seat of the car.

I mean, it just keeps coming up every day.

So let's just sit down and write down lots of ideas.

This is like, okay, we're not going to take the car.

Let's write that one down.

we take turns every day or someone keeps a track of a calendar and you just write down everything, even if it's a silly idea, like let's sell the car because it's too much trouble.

And then you can actually come back to, okay, this is a solution that we all agree on.

Let's try that and let's make a date in the calendar where we're going to come back and see how that's going.

And it's so it's just more we're guiding this process, we're being like a mediator.

I love the idea actually, it's very coaches almost exactly the same principle.

But yeah, it's very much not top-down, but it's also not being like a servant.

Because I think sometimes parenting becomes also that we don't want to make our child unhappy, so we do too much for them.

And the guide will really step in and set a limit saying, you know, I'm not gonna let you hurt each other and keep them safe as well.
