Episode 268

Sometimes when we see our kids’ negative behavior – when they’re being mean to a sibling, or acting disrespectful – we can tell that it’s because they’re in Yuck. But sometimes our kids act negatively… and they don’t seem to be in Yuck at all. But even in those situations when it isn’t obvious, it’s likely that Yuck is still motivating their negative behavior.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• A simple way to know that a child is in Yuck, even if they don’t seem upset 
• Why it’s so important to recognize this “quiet” Yuck 
• How we should respond when even our kids don’t know why they’re upset
