Episode 213
We are all very familiar with the whines and complaints of “it’s not fair!” And some of our kids may be melting down or getting incredibly angry when they perceive an injustice. But when we try to explain to our children why things really ARE fair (or why they have to accept that things aren’t fair!), the situation gets worse.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What’s truly causing the “it’s not fair!” lament
- Why what we usually say makes the situation worse
- What children truly need in those moments in order to feel and act better
