Episode 73

When a child is in the middle of a negative behavior, mood, or attitude, it’s hard to get them out of it. (Even if you’re able to, it takes a lot of energy.)

The reality is, it is more efficient to teach children how to act differently when they’re NOT in that negative place. But who wants to talk about negative behavior after it’s happened?

Often children will be resistant to these conversations… or the conversations don’t lead to change.

In this episode, you will learn: 

• The biggest mistake almost every parent makes when we try to talk about our children’s behavior after the fact 
• 3 steps to a positive conversation about your child’s behavior (that is more likely to lead to change) 
• What to do if your child STILL won’t talk and you know that you can’t make them
