Episode 343: When a Child Has a Big Reaction to a Limit You Set
Manage episode 478807834 series 2908118
We know setting limits for our children is an important part of parenting. But kids with big emotions often have over-the-top reactions that seem disproportionate to the situation. How can we handle their reactions effectively when we are exhausted by their rudeness, disrespect, and negotiations?
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why children have big reactions to reasonable limits
What we’re doing as parents that often makes it worse
How we can help our kids handle discomfort when things don’t go their way (without losing our influence!)
