High Road vs. Low Road & Rupture and Repair
Check out this handout for more information about the different types of processing that we, as parents (and our children) go through.
From these levels of processing, sometimes our change in level of processing can lead to behavior changes in us and our children. This can lead to ruptures within our relationships with our children.
This handout goes into detail talking about what these ruptures can look like and gives some tips on how to repair a rupture in our relationships with our children.
Hot tip: This same information can be used when ruptures occur in our other relationships within our lives (spouses, friends, adult parent-child relationships, etc.)

Knowing minds parent handout .docxAccording to Dr. Daniel Siegel, it should be our goal to raise children with, what he refers to as a "knowing mind." These are skills that we want to teach and foster within our children.
Check out this handout to see the different elements of a "knowing mind" and compare them with the different aspects of the mind. All of these different aspects need to exist cohesively to give people a sense of being whole and balanced.
See if you can see how each of these aspects plays into each of the elements of a knowing mind! It's amazing to see how everything is so interconnected.
Perspective Taking
"Perspective taking is an in-depth social-emotional-intellectual skill that is very difficult for our children to fully grasp -- thus they need us to help them with this."
-Ellen Galinsky, Mind in the Making

This is a skill that we all want our children to have. Seeing the world through someone else's eyes is not easy, though.
This is not just an intellectual skill of trying to think and feel like someone else, there is a lot more to this than originally thought! Check out this handout to read about the many different aspects that play into perspective taking. When we keep all of these aspects in mind when interacting with our children, it not only makes it easier for us to take their perspective, but it can also aid in their own skill building of this very important social-emotional-intellectual skill.
