Episode 81: Creating Pathways to a Peaceful Home with Lafaya Mitchell

Does your household include a hypersensitive child?

Much of the time, we don’t need a diagnosis to know our children are experiencing social, emotional, or behavioral issues. 

These issues can take many forms, but it is important to approach the situation in problem-solving mode rather than problem-focused mode.

We as parents should take the time to find the reason behind the behavior while validating our child’s feelings and determining our response. As difficult as it may be, we need to learn to not take their behavior personally and understand they have an unmet need.

Today, Lafaya Mitchell and I are discussing The Core Four - 4 steps to approaching undesirable behaviors along with other parenting tools to add to your toolbox.

Lafaya Mitchell is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who serves kids who are wired differently, their families, and those in the community who have the most access to and interaction with children/teens/adults experiencing social challenges.

Lafaya is determined to help families create pathways to peace in their homes through better access to the “Real Truth” in each person’s desire to connect, be heard, and be true to their innate desire to get along with others (especially loved ones). She created PARENTS EMPOWERING PARENTS (PEP), an online course based on the first 3 books of her parenting book series, “The Lafaya Way” for parents.
