When our kids are upset, we often suggest strategies to help them calm down or manage tough situations—like taking deep breaths, counting to ten, or breaking down assignments into smaller steps. But when those strategies don’t instantly erase the discomfort, both kids (and parents!) often conclude that “nothing works.”

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How to assess whether a strategy really “works” or not (so kids stop insisting that nothing works!)
  • A powerful exercise you can try with your child to help them build tolerance for discomfort
  • Simple ways to introduce the idea of tolerance in everyday situations (like chores, screen time, or schoolwork)
