Parents know that getting kids to listen without yelling can be such a challenge -- so that's exactly how we're tackling it! Join us in this five-day series that is designed to help you communicate better with your kids without having to yell. This video is for Day 1, so make sure to watch each video through to the end!

Day 1 objective - tune in to your own emotional experience and exercise choice in how you show up.

Day 1 mantra - I choose to be a calm, smiling, positive parent.

Day 1 challenge - Smile! - do this five times on purpose today. Start by simply relaxing your face (and notice that it was not relaxed before) then allow the smile to form. It might be easy at this point because sometimes you’ll smile just noticing that you were holding some other kind of face before. If you really want to freak somebody out, smile AT them. Keep your focus today on simply maintaining a calm voice face body. Kids are not good at regulating their own emotions - today we are focusing on our own so we can be a better model for them.
