Thanks Ryan. I really need to watch this clip once or twice a week. It's tough not getting sucked into my son's argumentative ways and when he's rude to his mom

[MadmanDinga]

WOW. "... what that's actually doing is creating codependency." - I got goosebumps. This explains SO much. Thank you for that insight.

OK, say we model it and lay the boundary. They continue to yell/scream/hit/bite/throw things (almost 7). Now what? Me being calm NEVER wears off on her.

I love your content but I think you need to tweak how you upload. This could be a YT short that reaches more people if you make the resolution 1080x1920 and keep it under a minute. You upload it to your channel in the same way.

if it's going to be a "regular" video, you should take up the whole frame at 1920x1080.

just a little tip.

thanks again for all the great content you put out!

I can look very calm when i am crippled with anxiety or screaming internally. Calm is not always a good sign.

I needed this reminder. Do I just say it over and over again "the way you are calling me names or yelling is not acceptable ' or do I give an additional time out right then and there. When my 8yo is upset for example his anger will take over him and he will call me names or throw things around the room

I'm a parent with ADHD and with two children also with ADHD. Given that i had a very late diagnosis and have been masking all my life, to the point that i didn't really know i was doing it, how do i make sense of affective calmness in the context of masking? Isn't it just what ive been doing all along and how, by pretending to feel different than i do, how am i not just modelling masking for my children? They know when my face doesn't match my feelings, you cant kid a kidder.

What's the next step though? Same question Amanda had below.
After you tell them that it's not okay for you to speak to me in this way, then what?
