“Don’t run!” = Run faster 🏃‍♂️💨 Ever notice how when you tell your child not to do something, they seem to do it even more? 🤦‍♀️ That’s because their brain skips the “don’t” and locks onto the action you just mentioned. Instead of saying, “Don’t run,” try: ✅ “Walk with your feet on the ground.” ✅ “Use a calm voice.” ✅ “Keep your hands to yourself.” When we focus on what we want them to do instead of what we don’t want, we set them up for success. 🙌 Next time you catch yourself saying “don’t,” flip it! What’s one phrase you can reframe today? 👇 #PositiveParenting #BrainBasedParenting #ParentingTips #RaisingKids #MindfulParenting
