This Rupture and Repair Guide is a simple visual reminder for parents to demonstrate healthy habits which positively influence children’s own behaviour.
Reduces need for nagging as kids naturally mirror your actions rather than just hearing instructions
Parents influence children to develop a growth mindset together when parents openly admit mistakes and proactively problem solve
What to do:
Put this guide up in a place for gentle daily reminders, so you can choose one way to choose a habit each day that you want your child to mirror.
What to say to model a digital boundaries, as an example:
‘I love watching my Netflix true crime shows, but notice my eyes are getting tired, so I’m going to leave my phone on charge in the living room now. It’s tempting to watch another episode, but I want to make sure I’m fully present for our family time as this is more important.’
Notice whether your child has an easier time adopting healthier behaviour after you model the same habits, like using self-soothing tools when frustrated, or choosing healthier foods and exercise.
