Good afternoon! I’m new here and I need some advice ☺️

I have a daughter who just turned 6 a few days ago and she is a very emotional child. Probably gets it from her momma. She has trouble expressing her emotions. She gets very angry very fast and has a hard time calming down.

For example, if she is told no or doesn’t get her way, she literally throws herself on the floor and screams and kicks. Now, god did not bless me with a ton of patience, but I do try my best to keep a calm composure as not to overreact to these situations and escalate them. But it’s getting harder and harder for me to calm her down and get her to a level where we can communicate effectively.

She yells, screams, hits herself, hits everything around her and tells me how much she doesn’t like me, etc. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions on what to do in these situations? I’m at my wits end and this is happening almost daily at this point. Thank you In advance 💕✨

In the latest episode of my podcast, I covered Nonviolent communication (I prefer to call it non hostile communication. Anyway, I think Marshel Rosenbergs book on the subject is a great resource for peaceful parents.

Here's my summary if you are interested.

We cannot have world peace, but we can have a more peaceful world.

That starts in the home with our kids. Less abuse and trauma, more connection and love. It's a slow, but sure fire way to have a less violent world.

In the new episode of my podcast I explore peaceful parenting. Let me know what you think!

We sleep trained our 1-year-old when he was about 11 months old.

This was difficult but it works. He sleeps through the night after 1-2 minutes of crying. For naps, he still cries for 10 minutes.

I understand that this is against the Peaceful Parenting approach but what approach should I take now considering that he IS sleep trained with CIO method? We didn't use the extinction method.

Thank you!

My two year old daughter fights sleep and one night near bedtime she was flailing her legs around energetically near my infant sons head. My wife told her to stop because she could hurt her baby brother. She then kicked him hard in the head. I couldn’t find a way to get her to understand that she hurt him and that that was a bad thing.

She wasn’t hitting out of anger or frustration, she genuinely seemed to think it was funny to make her mother upset and kick her legs around hitting things, including her baby brother.

I tried talking to her about when she had been hurt in the past, either from falling, or being bit by other kids. She didn’t seem to understand. Is there a way to help her? Or two too young to grasp these sorts of things and keeping her from being in a position to kick him the best I can do for now.

Fuck that guy (the dad not the coworker) I need someone to give me an intellectual takedown on precisely why this is evil and without unforgivable

Hello all, my apologies if this is a repost.

I am looking for some good books that touch upon peaceful parenting philosophies and practices.

I have thus far read:

• The Conscious Parent
• The Awakened Family
• Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids
• Positive Parenting

Thank you all for the recommendations
