I have been doing lots of thinking recently about how to teach more restorative practices with my toddlers… it is natural for us to immediately tell kids to say sorry, but does it really teach them anything?

Usually no and that’s why I am going a few steps further by asking these questions and following up with how they can REPAIR what happened, not just say two little words.

Anyone else catch themselves asking, “Why did you do that?” 🙋🏻‍♀️

A reminder for me too: respond in the moment, reflect when they’re calm. 🤍

Hold the boundary, help them regulate, and save the questions for laterwhen they’re better able to understand what happened and what they can do differently next time. 🫶

A life that feels good, not just looks good. 🤍

What would you add?

We are forever asking how much money it would take for us to do things 😂

50 degrees outside & swimming in a cold Canadian lake… What’s your price?

Maybe taking care of yourself isn’t always about adding more…
It can also be figuring out what you can carry less of.

What’s one thing that helps lighten your load?
