The goal of every parent is to raise a resilient child as well as to provide them with a comfortable life. Because of this, it can be hard sometimes to say no to our kids, but with a little knowledge and help, it shouldn't be impossible. Listen in as Tara discusses when to say no to our children, the effects of money stress on parenting, and the role of parent guilt in our decisions. She will also discuss her signature framework, the Language of Kindness, to help parents raise resilient children. Meet Tara! Tara Gratto M.S.Ed, MA, OCT is the founder of Raising Resilient Children. A social emotional expert, experienced educator & former preschool owner, she supports parents with what they need to become the parent they want to be. Through her exclusive support and group program options Tara will teach you her signature framework, the Language of Kindness and Parent Clues for Problem Solving. This system makes parenting easier while fostering connection and building essential life skills for resiliency. “So we are giving a lot of young children decisions that their little brains really can't handle. And how it's playing out for us is we are feeling guilty about not being able to buy stuff. We're feeling guilty about not giving enough options for shirts, not giving enough color choices for water bottles. Like I see it in all kinds of spheres. And we feel bad because we're saying no. Instead of saying, Hey, I wanna foster a sort of an understanding here that we can't have everything, that choices are limited, not limitless.” - Tara Gratto Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction for today's episode 03:52 - Meet Tara 06:03 - How are money stress and parenting related? 06:50 - Fight, Flight, and Freeze mode 08:40 - About stress response 12:06 - About taking a break when you're in freeze mode 13:15 - The mom guilt 14:37 - About dealing with the mom guilt 17:15 - The language of kindness and how it helps with parent guilt 18:00 - About giving children developmentally appropriate choices 26:39 - Unintentional reinforcement 27:51 - How to join Tara's Bootcamp Whether you've been stuck in the paycheck to paycheck rat race or just waiting for the "right time" to get started, or struggling to get started....this is the turning point you've been waiting for!
