About this listen
We map out eight simple practices that create a calmer, warmer home most of the time by shifting adult tone, language, and daily habits. One small, consistent change this week can reset the emotional climate and help kids feel safer and behave better.
• focusing on what we control as parents
• using cognitive reframing to reduce drama
• thanking family members for small acts
• letting kids overhear genuine praise
• reinforcing teamwork and family identity
• offering identity-shaping compliments to children
• praising a spouse publicly to model respect
• showing respect for a father’s role in decision-making
• choosing one action for five days to build momentum
Choose one of these ideas, one positivity practice, then commit to it for five days. Okay, even one day.
