Summary
Janet addresses messages from parents who are feeling defeated and helpless in the face of their kids' persistently uncooperative, annoying and, in one case, hurtful behavior. All of these parents admit they are struggling, and that the approaches they've tried just don't seem to be working.
"... I am constantly getting at my child, telling her 'No, stop that, not so close,' etc., and after a while I get incredibly frustrated as I just need my personal space."
"My two year old has taken to saying "hate you!" literally 25 plus times a day."
"I dread having to go anywhere on my own with [my sons] for fear that I will be overwhelmed by their energy and powerless to keep them in-bounds in a way that feels unruffled."
Janet recommends an overall shift in these parents' approach that she believes will give them the confidence they need to help resolve their issues, and can be applied to almost every behavioral challenge parents face.

| 0:11.7 | Hi, this is Janet Lansprey. |
| 0:13.9 | Welcome to Unruffled. |
| 0:15.7 | Well, today I'm going to be talking about a practice that can almost always benefit us as parents. |
| 0:22.8 | I'm going to read a couple of emails and a message exchange that I had with parents who are |
| 0:28.4 | frustrated and confused or so irritated by their kids' behaviors. |
| 0:33.8 | And at this point, they've run out of ideas. |
| 0:35.8 | They don't know how to respond and are feeling |
| 0:38.3 | really stuck. So I'm going to talk about how stepping back from these behaviors and situations |
| 0:44.1 | just a bit to get some perspective can be the key for helping us to ease the behavior and avoid |
| 0:53.1 | all that frustration moving forward. |
| 0:56.5 | Speaking of perspective, many of us are in a horrible situation that I'm sure you've heard about. |
| 1:02.6 | This unimaginable devastation that's happening here in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, |
| 1:08.3 | where I've lived since I was one year old. There's wind still howling out there as I'm recording. |
| 1:14.9 | If you have lost your home, my heart goes out to you. And please know that you are not alone. |
| 1:22.0 | For many of us, longtime residents, this isn't the first time we've been in this harrowing situation. Personally, |
| 1:28.6 | we came very close to losing our home when our neighborhood was demolished by fire in 2017. |
| 1:35.4 | Back then, my husband somehow managed to save our house and escape injury himself, and it was |
| 1:40.4 | kind of a miracle. But we were surrounded by tragic losses, |
| 1:50.8 | and it's been inspiring and heartening to see how in these past years our community has rebuilt itself, |
| 1:53.6 | and our friends have weathered these losses and reclaimed their lives. |
