Both mum, dad and then grandparents did the workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>\u201cThe take home messages we got as a family were huge\u2026<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>My partner started to come on board with naming the emotions and realising \u2018monkey see monkey do\u2019. It helped us both just stop and think a bit before speaking.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>My partner liked the more science background to behaviour and felt it was less \u2018airy fairy\u2019. \ud83e\udde0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>When we watched your video and discussed the naming of the emotions\/helping our son to feel safe and express why he felt like he did. Not to shout or escalate it with more anger as it was just getting everyone upset and more angry.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2728&nbsp;<em>We\u2019ve noticed a marked difference in my son\u2019s response to us, he settles quicker, he tells us more how we can help and with the right wording he can often decide the best solution. He has been apologising to his brother, asking for time away when he\u2019s too much and explaining before he gets cross. His room has now become more a sanctuary than a punishment.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>A lot of the reasons these techniques have been working. Even if slow and not all the time are due to how the description wasn\u2019t patronising or telling you how you aren\u2019t parenting well or negative or trying to make it out that there were simple solutions. It made sense, my partner saw results when he tried bits and it felt less wishy washing then the positive parenting stuff he didn\u2019t like\u2026.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Understanding our expectations our children has also helped. I think I wasn\u2019t realising they were more aware and needed answers to questions about feelings and that when I got upset and cried \u2026this helped as he was sad to see me sad and he realised he didn\u2019t want that. I previously felt I couldn\u2019t show weakness or be upset; I felt I was failing.<\/em><br><br><em>After watching we were able to work as a team on the same page finally.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>My only feedback is I would love to watch it again \ud83d\ude0a\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Literally all the feels reading this.
