Episode 27

You may already know that it’s important for kids to express their feelings. 

But what do you do when they express their feelings in a way that seems unhealthy — if they become aggressive when they don’t get their way, become disrespectful when you set a boundary, or become fearful when they’re faced with change? 

The good news is that even though coping in a healthy way does NOT come naturally to most people, we can teach our kids to recognize their feelings and respond to them in a more mature, productive way.  

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How most people cope with their negative feelings, or “Yuck” 
• Why most parents are unsuccessful when it comes to teaching kids how to cope in a healthy way   
• Specific steps you can take to see long-term results when it comes to helping your kids handle their feelings in a healthy way
