Episode 301
Because our children struggle with challenging situations and feelings, we want to give them what they need to be resilient. But if we’re being honest, sometimes it’s easier in the moment to give them what they WANT instead of what they NEED to be able to handle the obstacles they will inevitably face in life.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- How to know whether we’re meeting our kids’ wants or needs — and when we need to make a change!
- What our children actually need from us to become more resilient
- The easiest way to meet our kids’ emotional needs (with examples!) for stronger self-esteem and healthier relationships
