Episode 359
When you’re raising a child with big emotions, it’s natural for an “easier” sibling to get less of your time and attention. But a more flexible child may pay a quiet price — giving in to avoid conflict, hiding their feelings, or believing they matter less. Chances are, you’ve noticed that but aren’t sure what to do. Fortunately, a few small shifts can make a big difference in how they view themselves (and will can make you feel less guilty).
In this episode, you’ll learn how to:
- Spot the signs that an “easier” child is struggling
- Show them that they matter (even if you’ve told them and it hasn’t helped)
- Help them learn to stand up for themselves
