Episode 279
We want our kids to use healthy coping skills when they are dealing with discomfort. But what do we do when they regularly “forget” or fall back on unhealthy strategies when they are disappointed or frustrated?
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why trying to make or convince children to use healthy coping skills doesn’t work
- Why children genuinely struggle to use these skills, even when you’ve reminded them over and over
- What children really need in order to successfully (and consistently!) handle their big feelings more effectively
