A parent shares how a 21-day challenge with specific communication scripts transformed her angry, withdrawn daughter into someone receptive and affectionate. The daughter went from shouting and slamming doors to greeting her parent with hugs and showing willingness to listen.
That's where I started the challenge, the 21-day challenge and the communication scripts. Every single script that you had was happening to me. She would say, "Get out, I hate you and you don't love me and leave me alone." She would slam the door. When I'm saying it, I can't even believe these things happened because now it's nothing like it. I'm so glad to have come across you.
You were like the angel sent from above, literally.
After that 21-day challenge, then I started doing the communication cribs, those she was very receptive to. I myself was shocked when I started saying them, and she would be so receptive to it. I could see the change in her, like she would listen, which she would never do before. So yeah, she is receptive to hearing and learning. She has reduced her anger. Before, when she used to go to school, she would climb to the bus, she wouldn't want us anywhere near us. And she would just get into the bus and she wouldn't even look at me. Now I drop her to school, she goes in, she gives me a hug, she gives me a kiss, and if I don't give her, she'll be like, gimme gimme, and then I would give her a kiss. My heart is just so full when she does that. From where it was and from how it has turned out to be now, that is just—
yeah. So you've become her parent shoot, right? You've become her safe space now. I'd really like to think Safe with you. Wow.
