Episode 358
If you’re raising a child with big emotions, you know how draining it can be when they melt down, argue, refuse to cooperate, or fall apart after the smallest setback. It’s easy to assume these behaviors are defiance, disrespect, or laziness… but most of the time, they’re actually signs that your child is missing something that you can provide!
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The two main sets of skills kids with big emotions often lack
- How to recognize behaviors that signal a missing skill rather than misbehavior
- Why addressing missing skills reduces drama now and builds your child’s long-term confidence
