A Father's Story of Heartfelt Success

A recent Parenting From The Heart Dad graduate, Dr. Jeff Trigo D.C., relayed a success story that has beneficial parenting tips.

His daughter, who is 2 years old, was enjoying a veggie burger and a cup of milk for lunch. Suddenly, she became angry and tossed her cup across the room and threw her burger to the floor. Normally, before taking the Parenting From The Heart course, Dr. Jeff would have become angry. He would have reacted by raising his voice at his daughter while insisting that she clean up the mess and then take her to her room to experience a time-out.

Instead, he used his new skills! After she tossed her food on the floor, he put himself on Pause and thought, “What does she need?” He then thought, “She must be overly tired.” So he gently picked her up and said, “You look tired.” She replied with a “yes.” He then said, “Let’s go lay down,” and carried her to her bed and said, “Let’s read a couple of books.” While reading the books she positioned herself by lying on his chest and became very relaxed. After reading her two books, she passed out with exhaustion and fell fast asleep.

By responding this way he has focused on his child’s needs and not taken her actions personally. He experienced what we teach called a “GEM” and added to the Bank Account of Trust with their relationship. Here are the steps that we teach from the Parenting From The Heart Course. There is a situation that triggers you (possibly a tantrum)

1. Put yourself on Pause
2. Think what Need is not being met
3. Deliver a heartfelt Feeling Encourager and be empathetic
4. Take Loving Action if needed

By consciously parenting this way, parents are modeling responding instead of reacting, enhancing self-esteem, respectful of developmental stages and temperaments, and most importantly connecting and deepening the parent/child relationship.

When children are allowed to express their feelings in a safe and nurturing environment they are more likely to feel better much quicker. Long term, a deep connected relationship full of trust is created, which means she will feel safe coming to dad with any issues or concerns even as a teenager!

 

"When I was in charge of the SWAT team, I would spend the day in charge of a full scale tactical operation where everything was run through me. However, when I came home I didn't feel very confident in my parenting skills and deferred to my wife to handle the kids. After taking our first parenting class, I felt excited and in alignment with the concepts presented. This was a new way of being for me when interacting with my kids. I felt joyful and confident in parenting my children. I felt inspired and rediscovered my role as a husband and father!"
