Unlocking Better Behavior: The Power of Structure #transformativeparenting #parentingtips #shorts

Having structure and ritual and predictability in your family life is another top tip that I give parents. A lot of behavior problems are directly linked to times in which children don't have enough of these things. One reason for this is that kids feel more anxious when there's not enough structure and knowing and predictability in their day, and anxiety is a main contributor to behavior issues. Another reason is when when kids don't know what's happening next, they usually fill in that space of not knowing with something they want to do or the thing you did yesterday. And when something else then happens, they get more upset or defiant. Create more structure and ritual and knowing in your day, and you will experience less behavior issues with your kids. And just like tip number one, do this especially during times of transition, because that's when most of the problems happen.
