Description
In this week’s episode of Real World Peaceful Parenting, Lisa Smith shares a powerful shift that can transform the way your kids behave—and how they feel about themselves. Learn why the common “don’t do that” phrases aren’t working, what your child’s brain actually hears, and how a few simple language flips can build connection, cooperation, and confidence in your home.

- Why your child’s brain can’t process “don’t” the way you think it can.
- What mirror neurons are—and how they help reinforce positive behavior.
- The neuroscience behind why telling kids what to do works better than what not to do.
- Examples of flipping “don’t” phrases for every age group from toddler to teen.
- How to “catch” your child doing it right—and why that reinforcement is magic.
