Crystal the Parenting Coach
About this episode

One of the top things I get asked is this: Crystal, please help my kids stop fighting! And today, you finally get the FULL answer. Learn more about what’s really going on- what fighting boils down to- and what can be good about it. We’ll also dig into 3 practical tools that you can use TODAY to lower fighting TODAY. They work in a sustainable way, not just as a temporary solution. You’ll love this episode! Make sure to like, share, subscribe and share it with a friend. 

In today’s episode we dig into: 

  • How fighting really boils down to emotional self-regulation (and communication skills)
  • How we can teach our children self-regulation, and lower fighting in our home
  • How to teach healthy and effective communication skills (it’s probably different than you’d think) 
  • The changes that have happened in my home with fighting and how you can start to make those same changes right now
