My mind is on fire with all the things we’re discovering in my new Pack Leadership group. One of our newest Masterminders is experiencing a very familiar kid scenario: pulled in too many directions, never enough time, her energetic daughter is seeking attention by acting out. Usually, I’d send her to our NICE Framework, to help her better understand her daughter’s behavior. But this time, I took a step back and asked about HER day-to-day experience. It turns out she’s got her own patterns and triggers, and no amount of compassion for her child is going to help if she’s not taking care of herself. I can’t wait for you to hear a recent voice message I left for the group, where we talked about why it feels like there’s so much potential in this different approach. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why we don’t usually think about self-understanding and compassion when we’re focused on addressing behavioral challenges. What drives kids to act out and misbehave when they can’t express their need for more attention.How to think about being present with your kids so you’re not just going through the motions of spending time with them.

And much more!
