Description
When a child pulls away during correction, melts down at the slightest redirection, or struggles to accept limits—it’s not a sign of bad parenting. It’s a sign they need connection before correction.
Would you like a version that's more clinical, more nurturing, or more concise?
TBRI® (Trust-Based Relational Intervention) is a connection-centered, trauma-informed model designed to help caregivers support children with challenging behaviors. In this episode, you'll explore Correcting Principles, which focus on building trust while teaching accountability—so children feel safe, seen, and guided rather than punished or rejected.
This isn’t about strict consequences or controlling behavior—it’s about connection first, then correction. It’s a relationship-based mindset shift that nurtures healing, growth, and cooperation in kids from hard places.
🧡 Best for parents who...
- Feel like correction leads to more conflict than change
- Are raising children with trauma, loss, or attachment disruptions
- Want to set firm boundaries without damaging connection
- Are looking for a discipline approach grounded in empathy and neuroscience
💛 Best for kids who...
- React strongly to limits or feedback
- Seem defiant, aggressive, or avoidant when corrected
- Have difficulty trusting adults or regulating emotions
- Need structure, safety, and connection to thrive
🧠 Why It Helps:
TBRI Correcting Principles give caregivers tools to correct misbehavior without damaging the relationship. By combining nurture and structure, this approach helps children feel emotionally safe, while teaching self-regulation, responsibility, and trust.
💡 Bonus Tips:
- Use “re-dos” to give kids safe opportunities to learn new behaviors
- Practice playfulness to de-escalate and build connection
- Focus on building safety before addressing correction
- Pair this episode with support from a TBRI-trained therapist or community
An essential listen for any caregiver ready to correct in a way that builds—not breaks—connection. Healing starts with relationship.
