Episode 343
We know setting limits for our children is an important part of parenting. But kids with big emotions often have over-the-top reactions that seem disproportionate to the situation. How can we handle their anger effectively when we are exhausted by their rudeness, disrespect, and negotiations?
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why children have big reactions to reasonable limits
- What we’re doing as parents that often makes it worse
- How we can help our kids handle discomfort when things don’t go their way (without losing our influence!)
