Episode 318
We ask our children to do things all the time, and (of course) we assume that they know how to do what we ask. Why wouldn’t they? In reality, a lot of negative behavior stems from skills that children are missing – which means they actually don’t know how to do what we ask. In order to improve our influence and their resilience, all we need to do is teach them a few strategies for success.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What actually stops children from doing what we want them to do
- How one simple shift can decrease our frustration and our exhaustion
- What it’s like to be a child who wants to do better… but can’t
