Are your kids’ fights setting off your emotions—and the whole house? Most parents try to “fix” kids’ behavior to feel better. In this video, Greg & Rachel flip the script: change your emotional state first, and your family dynamics follow. You’ll learn how to stop masking (“trying to stay calm”) and start being emotionally authentic—so you model regulation your kids can actually imitate. We unpack practical tools to raise your family’s emotional thermostat—even on low-sleep, low-food days: breathing exercises, light movement, gratitude micro-meditations, future journaling, and morning routines that shift your biochemistry fast. You’ll discover why sleep and nutrition are foundational, how to process triggers and “memorized emotions,” and how to radiate steadiness kids naturally copy. Big idea: Nothing gets better until you do. When you upgrade your inner state, parenting gets easier, marriage gets warmer, and home feels safe again. This is how you cultivate a family culture of peace, courage, and joy—without pretending or suppressing. What you’ll learn: Authenticity over suppression: why “trying to be calm” backfires—and what to do instead. The reset toolkit: 60–180-second breathing, movement, posture, and gratitude practices that rapidly change state. Triggers & “memorized emotions”: how to rewire old patterns so change actually sticks. Modeling regulation: kids imitate without regulation—set the tone they’ll copy. The thermostat concept: identify your family’s baseline and dial it up (courage → willingness → acceptance → love → joy → peace). Self-care that isn’t selfish: why sleep & food may be the fastest fixes for better parenting. Mentor, don’t micromanage: respond to misbehavior as a cry for help and coach skills. Try this today (1-minute reset): Stand tall, inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 6 (x6 rounds). Add one gratitude sentence and smile on purpose. Notice the shift—then go connect. Key Takeaways ✅ Nothing gets better until you do — when you raise your state, your family follows. ✅ Kids imitate without regulation — they copy your energy, good or bad. ✅ Trying to “stay calm” is masking — practice authentic emotional expression. ✅ Sleep & food drive mood — protect your physiology to parent better. ✅ Quick resets work — breathing, movement, posture, and gratitude change your state fast. ✅ Every family has an emotional thermostat — set yours higher on purpose. ✅ Mentor, don’t micromanage — see misbehavior as a cry for help and coach skills. Memorable Quote: 🗣️ “Nothing gets better until I do.” 🗣️ “Kids imitate without regulation—set the state you want repeated.” 🗣️ “Trying to be calm isn’t calm. Authentic peace is felt, not faked.” 🔔 Don’t miss more parenting insights—subscribe now: https://yt.openinapp.co/GDYT www.FormidableFamilyMan.com RESOURCES: Let me help you in your journey to becoming a more Purpose Driven Leader: Free course!

Do you feel good in your own home? Does your family culture feel like a safe, joyful refuge—or more like constant conflict and stress? Most parents spend 90% of their time fixing problems instead of preventing them. But what if the secret to a thriving home is in the things you never do? In this video, Greg and Rachel Denning—parents of 7 and family coaches—reveal the small but powerful “never-do’s” that transformed their parenting and family culture. From eliminating sarcasm and insults, to saying no to video games, TV, and constant notifications, these intentional choices create a home environment where kids feel secure, confident, and deeply attached. They share why attachment—not punishment—prevents misbehavior, how harshness backfires, and why saying “no” to outside noise means saying “yes” to family connection. Raising kids is already hard enough. But by eliminating just a few destructive habits, you can dramatically reduce sibling rivalry, power struggles, and emotional distance in your home. 👉 Tune in to discover the things we NEVER do as parents that helped us raise 7 happy, respectful, and resilient kids—and learn how you can create a family culture your children (and others!) love to be part of. Key Takeaways ✅ Eliminating sarcasm & insults builds trust and confidence. ✅ Harshness and yelling create distance instead of respect. ✅ Strong attachment prevents misbehavior better than punishment. ✅ No video games, TV, or junk food = more energy, focus, and peace. ✅ Saying “no” to distractions means saying “yes” to family. Memorable Quotes 🗣️ “If you don’t want to trade lives with someone, don’t take their advice.” 🗣️ “We never say mean or hurtful things to our children—ever.” 🗣️ “Harshness creates distance and fragility, which causes misbehavior.” 🗣️ “Eliminate the baby dragons before they grow into monsters.” 🗣️ “Other families send their kids to live with us because they love our family culture.” 🔔 Don’t miss more parenting insights—subscribe now: https://yt.openinapp.co/GDYT www.FormidableFamilyMan.com RESOURCES: Let me help you in your journey to becoming a more Purpose Driven Leader: Free course!
