Episode 107

When we’re deciding how to respond to kids’ behavior, we’re often motivated by preventing bad things from happening in the future. We want to do everything we can to make sure they turn out to be responsible and respectful, and that they have success and happiness later in life. But often, when we’re focusing on the future, we aren’t able to give them what they need to act and feel better in the future.

In this episode, you will learn: 

• What “future thinking” looks like (and why it’s so common) 
• Why “future thinking” makes kids more resistant 
• Tips to help you prevent this type of thinking so that you can give your kids what they actually need to be successful
