3 Real Life Examples of Peaceful Parenting

Everyday Parenting: Real Life Examples of Peaceful Parenting

‘Are you ok in here?’

‘Yeah, I’m just having some time to myself because I’m angry and I don’t want to hurt anyone’

That was from my 5-year-old last week. I admit I gave myself a pat on the back there. Sometimes things just go right!

A lot of the time they don’t go so well. Sometimes there are siblings fighting and yelling and snatching. But then these little moments come along as if to say ‘Hey, you’re doing ok here’. And you breathe a sigh of relief.

The sea of parenting books, articles, blog posts, experts, and courses, can get quite overwhelming! You read all these ideas that seem great in theory but when it comes to putting it into practice you struggle to remember what you’re supposed to be doing. In our house, we strive for peaceful and respectful parenting, but it can be hard not to fall back into old habits.

What really helps me is reading real life examples of parenting, and even looking back on my own experiences, good and bad, and thinking about what went well or not so well. I’m much more likely to remember an idea if I’ve heard a story about how it applies to real life. And so lately that’s what I’ve been doing! Documenting some of my own moments that I want to remember, and can learn from. Maybe you’ll find them helpful too?

Here are some situations that we’ve experienced in our house recently (click the title to read the full post):

Real Life Examples of Peaceful Parenting *Great resource for parents. These tips are so helpful.

1. Dealing with ‘Rudeness’

This is one thing that can really push our buttons, isn’t it? Rudeness. But really, children don’t want to hurt our feelings. They just don’t know how to communicate what’s really bothering them! This is one example of how we were able to get to the bottom of what was really going on, and use the experience as an opportunity for connection.

2. Snatching and Sharing

How do you peacefully resolve an argument where one child has snatched off another and is holding the item hostage? Well, this is one approach!

3. How to Diffuse Any Sibling Argument

Siblings argue. I don’t think we’re ever going to avoid that completely! But, there is a way to make sure everyone feels heard and understood and to help them learn to work things out independently.

BONUS: The Moment Of Connection I Almost Missed

An important lesson from my 5-year-old about slowing down and focusing on connection, that I very nearly missed. If you often find yourself nagging and threatening with your kids when trying to get out of the house in the morning then this one is for you!
