So it’s hard not to get too emotionally ‘involved’.

Yes! It allows them to take on the ownership of it. But also keep in mind, you are her safe space. So if she’s amazing outside your home, your modeling is working!! If she comes home and dumps on you, that means she feels comfortable with you and with your home environment. It’s hard as parents, but it also means you’re doing it right! Keep going!! You got this!

It seems that no matter how much I model decent behavior, which my 9 year old practices away from home (! and thankfully), she cops a horrid attitude when I ask her to pretty much do anything. This is brilliant because rather than me uselessly reminding her to be decent, ‘try again’ puts the responsibility of resolving the issue with her. And this is a phrase I wont mind using with myself when I mess up and need to ‘try again. ‘

Thanks so much for this. My seven year old daughter is getting sassy, and I have no idea how to handle it. I’m totally stealing this!

Maggie, you’re hilarious. Sounds like we should be friends. Have you joined our Kind Kids in 5 Days challenge? It’s going on right now, we’re on Day 3! At the end of the week, I help parents encourage kinder siblings (which is the hardest part of raising kind kids!) You can also find me at the Raising Kind Kids Movement Group on Facebook where we all help each other with the day to day issues and triggers 🙂

Both girls. I also work nights and am not always at my best. I love this phrase as well as a lot of your other advice (15 things to ban…). I have always encouraged kindness to others and my girls are lovely at school and frequently receive compliments about how sweet they are but it’s like WW3 once they get home. I’m hoping to spend this summer emulating and encouraging kindness in our household. It also sounds like my triggers are the same as your triggers and we are basically the same person. Let’s be friends. 😉 Thanks for all the great strategies!
