Kids Fighting?

Jul 10, 2025

 

Hello, Happy Human! 👋

We're here with our weekly 3 things...

1️⃣ A question from our community

2️⃣ Our actionable tips

3️⃣ A resource from our toolkit

 


 

1. The question

 

"My kids constantly fight (our youngest seems to instigate) and we’ve had a thousand talks about it but it just keeps happening and I don’t know what to do.”

 


 

2. Our answer

 

As parents of four young kids… we know how draining it is.

You explain, correct, remind, separate, let them work it out… but the same cycle plays out over and over.

➡️ One instigates, the other explodes, and BAM… you’re back in the middle of another family feud.

And the relentlessness of it all just makes it so easy to get pulled into the chaos, right?

It’s like we get triggered and come in hot… and while that reaction is completely understandable… it usually just adds fuel to the fire and makes things worse.

But here’s the thing…

When we escalate with our kids, we model the exact behavior that we’re trying to stop.

And because we end up giving most of our attention to their problem behaviors…

👉 We actually end up reinforcing them.

So here’s the game-changer…

✅ Model the behavior you want to see.

If we want our kids to learn how to stay calm, manage conflict, and treat each other with respect… we have to go first.

That means staying regulated, speaking with a sense of calm leadership, and redirecting with intention… even when the storm is swirling around us.

When we’re able to shift our energy and give our attention to more desirable behaviors (like comforting the hurt sibling or gently guiding a resolution), we’re not just emotionally reacting… we’re thoughtfully teaching.

And no, it won’t “work” instantly, so don’t expect a magical one-time fix.

But the more you model regulation, the more your kids will internalize it.

Over time, you’ll see them reach for your strategies, use your language, and you’ll watch them slowly grow into kids who can handle these kinds of hard moments…

👉 Because they saw YOU do it first.

But we know… keeping cool amidst the endless triggers of parenting in 2025 is such an incredible challenge.

And that’s why we created our Regulation Bundle.

 


 

3. From our toolkit

 

We created our Regulation Bundle for parents who are done feeling stuck in the same reactive patterns and who are ready to lead their families with calm, not chaos.

Because here’s the truth…

➡️ You can’t teach regulation if you’re not modeling it. And you can’t model it if you don’t have the right tools and support.

And that’s where the bundle comes in…

Inside, you’ll get 3 of our most powerful, practical, and transformative workshops:

🧠 Regulated Parenting will walk you through identifying and managing triggers so you can break cycles for good.

🧘‍♀️ 57+ Ways to Chill will help you build your own personalized regulation toolbox so you can find and maintain your calm (even during the toughest moments).

😮‍💨 Release the Stress will teach you a 15-minute weekly protocol that will clear built-up nervous system tension so can stop snapping and start responding.

Together, these workshops are going to help you:

✅ Stay regulated in the heat of the moment

✅ Lead with confidence instead of control

✅ Stop reinforcing the behaviors you’re trying to change

✅ Create a home that feels safe, connected, and emotionally healthy

🎉 And for THIS WEEK ONLY, the full bundle is 50% off!

That’s over $200 worth of workshops for less than the cost of a family dinner out.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“I didn’t think I’d have the time to do this kind of work but you guys made it all so simple and easy and I’m already seeing a huge shift within myself and I see it all spreading to my husband and kids. I can’t thank you enough!” – Naomi, mom of 3

So if you’re tired of the yelling, the guilt, the constant button-pushing, and you want to feel more like yourself again…

Remember, you never need to be perfect. You just need to be regulated enough to model the behavior you want to see.

And our workshops are going to help you get there. ❤️

We’re here if you have any questions.
