Did you know that inconsistent parenting can compromise trust in your relationship with your kids? 🚨   If you are inconsistent in your parenting, your children will receive the message that they need to listen to you and follow your directions only SOME of the time. That ‘SOME’ quickly adds up to a hefty ‘SUM’ of power struggles, emotional outbursts and unnecessary drama for you as a parent. Inconsistency dilutes your voice and stance as a values-grounded parent. It leaves your kids unsure of what to expect, leading to frustration and mistrust.   
👉 Here are a few tips to stay consistent: 

🔸Set clear rules and expectations and stick to them. Your kids need to know what’s expected of them at all times. 

🔸Maintain a daily routine. Clarify the structure for your morning, afternoon, and evening routine. 

🔸Ensure all caregivers are on the same page. Mixed messages from different adults can confuse children. 

🔸Demonstrate the values you want your children to adopt. Consistency in your actions speaks louder than words. 

🔸Always follow through with consequences, both positive and negative. This teaches accountability and helps children understand the importance of their actions.  

Remember, consistency is key to building trust, reducing power struggles, and nurturing a healthy family dynamic. Stay grounded! 🌱💪
