Episode 95

It makes our lives easier when children don’t insist that things need to go their way….when they can go with the flow. But often children who don’t insist on things going a certain way ALSO don’t ask for what they do need. And they may not stand up for themselves to others — siblings, friends, peers, or even adults — when necessary.

In this episode, you will learn: 

• Why children may not stand up for themselves, even when you’ve told them how important it is and taught them what to say
• How you can teach them to become more assertive so they know (and show) that they matter too
• What you need to do for yourself to ensure that your child can be successful
