Hi, I’m Hilary Erickson from The Pregnancy Nurse. How can I help?
The available content doesn’t lay out a formal “Hilary Erickson Love and Logic approach,” but based on what I teach about practical parenting and anger, these are the big principles I lean on:
- Everyone gets angry – nothing has “gone wrong” with you or your child; drop the shame so you can parent better
- Pause and process your own emotion before responding or giving consequences
- Use calm, later “teaching moments” (family meetings, car talks, etc.) rather than lecturing in the heat of the moment
- Treat mistakes as data gathering: your child is learning, not “broken”
- Focus on collaborative problem‑solving instead of blaming or nagging
Are you asking about handling anger with kids specifically, or about everyday discipline and consequences in general?
