Episode 345
When we see our kids struggling with things like schoolwork, or friend drama, or dealing with a teacher they don’t like, we often offer suggestions to help them get through those situations more easily. But what should we do when our children give short or snarky responses to our genuine attempts to help?
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why kids are so resistant to our suggestions, even if they know they’re good ones
- What we almost always do that makes the situation worse
- How to respond to this type of attitude so that you maintain your positive, powerful influence (and they don’t get away with anything!)
