Episode 239: Helping Children Who Have “Bad Attitudes” (When They Lose, Have to Try New Things, Etc.)
Release Date:
Often children with big emotions struggle with uncomfortable situations like losing or trying things they’re not good at. In those moments, they may become upset, or rude to others, or they may just shut down. And we feel helpless when the things we do to try to get through to them in the moment don’t seem to help. In this episode, you’ll learn why phrases we heard as kids (like “life is hard; get used to it”) don’t work for kids with big emotions, what our kids truly need in order to handle these situations, and a simple Long Game strategy that helps children gain long-lasting resilience.
