Validate emotions before acting
Tip : When your child shows strong emotions (anger, sadness, frustration), take a moment to listen to them and tell them that you understand how they feel, for example: “I see that you are very angry, it's normal to feel this way sometimes.” Then, calmly explain the rules or consequences. Why : This helps the child feel heard and understood, and teaches them to manage their emotions more calmly.
Social and emotional skills
Adopting kindness helps children develop strong social and emotional skills.
Establish reassuring routines
Tip : Create daily routines and family rituals, such as a calm moment before bed, a time to discuss together, or a free play moment after school. It can also be the 5 things to do upon returning from school before playing! This sets a safe and predictable framework for the child Why : Routines provide security and predictability, reducing anxiety and promoting autonomy and calmness.
Model error as learning with open discussions
Practical resource: Host a monthly family meeting to discuss mistakes, challenges, and solutions as a family. For example, after a conflict or mistake, share your own experiences of failure and what you've learned. Encourage children to do the same. Why it's useful: Create a family culture where failure is seen as an opportunity to learn, not a negative. This shows that everyone, including parents, can learn from their mistakes and fosters empathy and solidarity within the family.
Trusting environment
Open and caring communication helps strengthen the parent-child relationship and encourages a trusting environment.
Validation of Emotions
It is important to validate your child's emotions before explaining the rules to them or asking them to change their behavior.
Encourage autonomy first thing in the morning with a choice ritual
Practical resource: Create a morning ritual of choice for children, such as leaving is choosing your outfit or morning music. Offer them two or three limited options that they can choose independently. Why it's useful: It gives kids a sense of control and responsibility from the start of the day. The rituals of choice allow them to develop their independence while remaining in a reassuring and organized environment.
Strict rules
Positive discipline combines kindness with firm but respectful rules.
Encourage initiative and autonomy
Tip : Offer choices appropriate to your child's age so they can make decisions. For example: “Do you want to wear the red or blue sweater?” or “Do you prefer to tidy up your toys before or after snack time?” Why : Providing choices allows the child to feel responsible and boosts their confidence in their decision-making abilities, while respecting their preferences.
Emotional Brain
The emotional brain, also called the limbic system, plays a crucial role in processing and regulating emotions.Neuroscience shows that parental kindness helps develop the child's emotional brain.
Kindness
Kindness is practiced only when there is a problem; it is unnecessary to incorporate it into daily life.
Encourage initiative with a table of responsibilities
Practical resource: Create a responsibility chart where each family member, including the child, can check off their tasks (e.g., putting away their toys, helping to wash dishes, etc.). For the little ones, use pictograms. Why it's useful: This helps value children's autonomy by assigning them age-appropriate responsibilities, while also providing a visual and fun way to track their progress. It's also a way to congratulate them for their efforts.
Emotion regulation
Kindness through dialogue allows the child to learn to regulate their emotions and better understand their needs.
Accept imperfection and mistakes
Tip : When your child makes a mistake, instead of scolding them, show them that the mistake is an opportunity to learn. For example: “It’s okay, look how you can do it again together.” Why : Accepting mistakes as an integral part of learning helps the child not to fear failure and to develop a positive attitude towards challenges.
Kindness Balance
The principle of kindness is based on the balance between considering the emotional needs of the child and establishing clear rules.
Create family rituals to strengthen bonds
Practical resource: Organize a daily moment of sharing (e.g., a screen-free family dinner where everyone shares their "best moment" of the day). Why it's helpful: Rituals create a safe and predictable space for children. They strengthen communication and show children that they matter and are heard, while cultivating moments of family connection.
Positive Discipline - Jane Nelsen
Description: This book is a must-read for parents who want to take a caring and respectful approach to parenting. Jane Nelsen offers concrete strategies to support children's development while setting clear and consistent boundaries. Why it's useful: It offers practical tools based on care, mutual respect, and the promotion of autonomy.
Use clear and positive instructions
Tip : Instead of saying "Don’t run!", try "Let’s walk slowly, please." Positive instructions, phrased as what to do, are easier for the brain to understand and follow. Why : This helps the child better understand what is expected of them, rather than focusing on what they shouldn’t do, which can make them confused or frustrated.
Use an "emotional corner" to defuse conflicts
Practical resource: Create a quiet space or "emotional corner" at home where children can go to retreat when they are angry or sad. This space can be equipped with cushions, books or reassuring objects. Why it's helpful: Teaches the child to recognize and manage their emotions independently. It also helps defuse conflict by providing a place to regroup before returning to the situation more calmly.
Caring approach
Setting clear and consistent boundaries is part of the caring approach within the family.
