Episode 354
Let’s be honest: Raising a child with big emotions can take a lot of energy. Dealing with resistance, dramatic reactions, and everything else in your life can be exhausting, so it’s natural to lose your patience (and, unfortunately, your influence). This episode shares a specific strategy to stay calm and keep your influence… even when it’s taking longer for your children’s behavior to improve than you’d like.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The 3 main reasons kids don’t do what we ask
- Why we tend to lose our cool when there is a setback in our child’s progress
- A simple technique to help you stay calm and supportive rather than resentful of your child’s behavior
