Summary

As conscious parents, we're doing our best to learn to anticipate and respond effectively to our children's behaviors and needs. However, the behaviors of the other children in our kids' lives—friends, relatives, new acquaintances in public environments—are far less predictable. It’s inevitable our kids will encounter situations that confuse, baffle, or even frighten them. So, what do we do when our kids are faced with these new and uncomfortable situations? And what is the best way to interact gracefully and helpfully with parents who aren’t on the same page?

Janet shares 3 notes from parents whose kids have experienced unpleasant interactions with other children. The parents' instinct was to step in, but they were uncertain how to do that without offending the other parents. Janet explains her perspective and specific advice for handling each of these encounters.

Janet's "No Bad Kids Master Course" is available at NoBadKidsCourse.com and JanetLansbury.com.

Her best-selling books “No Bad Kids: Toddler Discipline without Shame” and "Elevating Child Care: A Guide to Respectful Parenting" are available in all formats at Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and free at Audible (https://adbl.co/2OBVztZ) with a trial subscription.

0:25.1	I always seem to get things in threes.
0:27.9	These are all on the topic of other people's kids.
0:32.4	So we're working really hard, a lot of us, on how to engage with our own children, how
0:37.7	to help them with their behavior, how to teach them right from wrong.
0:43.8	But what happens if we're dealing with other children who are maybe not being saved with
0:50.0	their child, not respecting their boundaries, and then we also have the other children's
0:56.4	parents, what are they doing, how are they handling it, how do we navigate this?
1:01.8	So it's a big topic, but I'm going to use these three notes from very mindful parents
1:08.4	to offer general guidelines and also some specifics to help us in these social situations.
1:19.1	Every cell tissue and organ in our bodies need water to work properly.
1:23.2	So hydration is an important element of self care.
1:26.4	Even everyday activities like a trip to the playground, house cleaning, walking the dog,
1:31.1	long airplane flights, and night on the town, all of these can cause dehydration and keep
1:35.9	us from feeling our best.
1:38.0	So whether you're a workout fanatic or just a busy parent, liquid IV is a smart addition
