Episode 285
When our kids have big feelings — and even BIGGER reactions — it can be a challenge to avoid getting sucked in. The good news is even if they are being dramatic, complaining about little things, arguing with a sibling, or simply shutting down, it is possible to stay out of their Yuck and avoid making situations worse.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What happens to our adult brains when our kids are stuck in Yuck
- Two steps we can take to parent from our values rather than reacting in a way we regret
- How simple changes we make can positively impact kids’ self-esteem and our relationship with them in the long run
