Episode 39
No one wants to raise an entitled child… so we know we have to set boundaries, rules, and limits. But we also know that when we set those boundaries, rules, and limits, we’re likely to get pushback in the form of whining, complaining, disrespect, meltdowns, or even defiance. So how can we handle those reactions? How can we shift these situations from negative interactions to opportunities to build your child’s resilience?
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why it’s such a struggle for kids (and adults) to act maturely in these situations
- What to say and do in response to your child’s behavior to help them learn to cope when things don’t go their way
- Strategies for calming yourself down so you don’t get sucked into their negativity
