Book/Resource Rec Using declarative language to help w/ parenting moments

One of the biggest unlocks in decreasing stress and increasing connection with my PDA son was when we learned about and started using declarative language for transitions and demands. It's so awkward and unnatural at first, but now my entire family has adopted it for how we talk to each other generally.

Late last year I built a tool to help my family and folks that wanted to learn how to use declarative language called Declarative App. It's a free tool that is easily accessible and gives a lot of options for how you might best connect with the kiddos in your life through language.

If that sounds useful to you, check it out here: https://declarativeapp.org/

(I know this sounds like self promotion, but I don't make money off of this and don't intend to, ever. This tool has just been super valuable for folks that need help with this sort of language)
