Episode 332

When we are raising children with big emotions, it can be frustrating watching them struggle when things don’t come easily. Even when we encourage them and remind them that they can do hard things, they may continue to complain or resist, leaving us wondering: Should we push them, or should we give in? Fortunately, there is a simple way to make this decision… and a way to help them handle discomfort when a push is appropriate.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why children with big emotions often avoid doing hard things
  • How to decide when to push them to do hard things and when it doesn’t make sense to push 
  • How we can help deal with their discomfort so they can become the best version of themselves
