Podcast Episode 238: Time After Time: What NOT to Say to Your Kids When They’re Late

Does this sound familiar…?

It’s a typical morning rush, and you’re desperately trying to get your kids out the door on time. But alas, they’re dawdling, lost in their own world, and suddenly you find yourself teetering on the edge of frustration….ready to blow.

Yes?

If you’re a parent, chances are you’ve been there. However, before you let those words slip out of your mouth in frustration, let’s talk about what NOT to say to your kids when they’re running late.

A very common misconception is that kids are intentionally late or disrespectful of time. However, the truth is often more complex. Sometimes, lateness stems from struggles with time management, difficulty transitioning between tasks, or even anxiety about the day ahead.

We’re not here to tell you to buy a watch or set up reminders in your phone to help get your kids to get a hustle on – we’re giving you practical tips for changing behaviors that your kids need to learn ASAP.

In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn:

  • Common misconceptions about the causes of why kids are late and how to get to the root of the issue
  • How to avoid heated discussions around lateness and compassionately address your child’s struggle
  • The way lateness can create increased stress in your family and how to navigate that stress
  • Ways to help your kids change behaviors and break habits of chronic “running lateness”

When you have no clue how to help your child with their math homework

Tell me if this sounds familiar.

Your child brings home a page of a page of double-digit subtraction problems.

You know… the kind where you have to “borrow” from the tens place to do the operation in the ones place.

You got this, you think…

But no, your kid politely informs you. You aren’t supposed to borrow. Instead, your child needs to use a method where he “counts up” from the number.

What in the world? This isn’t subtraction…at least not the way you learned it.

How are you expected to help your kid when the method doesn’t even make sense?
