A brief parenting guidance video by Kim Zoller that encourages parents to notice helpful behaviors in their children, verbally acknowledge and thank them to build connection and model gratitude. The speaker gives a tangible example phrase parents can use and prompts immediate action.
Noticing your children doing something helpful sends them the message that you see them and that builds connection, and showing them appreciation models gratitude. Right now, notice something that your children are doing that's helpful and say thank you. For example, you got ready on schedule this morning and we were able to get out on time. That is so helpful. I appreciate you and that shows that you are part of our team. Right now, go notice your children. Let them know that you see them and tell them thank you.
