Summary
SUMMARY - In this episode, Eileen addresses 5 common misconceptions parents and providers have about what it means to parent and support kids from a Brain First lens. TAKEAWAYS: Here are the 5 misconceptions that Eileen addresses in this episode. With each misconception, she breaks down why it is a misconception and helps listeners deepen their understanding even further about what it means to parent from a Brain First lens. Misconception 1: "Parenting from a Brain First lens means I am allowing or giving in to behavior that is definitely not okay." Misconception 2: "If I parent my child through a Brain First lens, they will never learn how to live in the 'real' world." Misconception 3: "If I parent from child from a Brain First lens, then I am saying I no longer have expectations for them or their behavior." Misconception 4: "If I do not show my child that I am in charge by addressing behavior immediately, I will lose my parental authority and my child will believe they can walk over me and do whatever they want." Misconception 5: "Parenting from a Brain First lens sounds like a lot of work and I am already exhausted. I can not add another thing to my plate."
