Children have a need for being taught in such a way that they can understand, which requires us to be able to teach in a simple way. Rosie gives the example of using animals to teach them by likening the animals to how their brain works and deciding which animal will be in control. Often when your children are struggling to do what you ask them to, it\u2019s because they don\u2019t understand why it\u2019s important to complete these tasks. Using stories to teach a principle will make learning much more impactful, especially if you can share a story that tugs at their heartstrings.

\u201cWhen you teach a principle, it\u2019s like a third party in your relationship with your children. Sometimes if you say like, \u2018Patty, can you get dressed?\u2019 or \u2018Saoirse can you have your breakfast? Can you do this, or can you do that?\u2019 They see it as a request from me and that they\u2019re just doing it because I want them to do it, but when you bring a principle and you teach them, and they understand the why and the benefits and the blessings of what that means, they take ownership and they feel empowered.\u201d 11:27
