What Kids Don't Need To Hear From Their Parents
May 18, 2021“Instead of banishing your child or sending them to time out, make space for your children and let them know that they're welcome to be in your presence no matter what version of themselves is there.”
This week on the 3D Parent Podcast, we are going to discuss what kids don’t need from their parents. This is a different approach from what I usually do on my episodes but it is equally important as these are common mistakes that a lot of parents make.
We’ll walk through the difficult moments that parents usually experience with their child and discuss the underlying factors that contribute to your child’s frustrations. We will also navigate through what to do and what not to do during these challenging times.
Throughout this episode, I will unpack six pointers on what kids don’t need from their parents, and the reasoning behind why our children don’t respond well to these six things. I will also provide guides on what to do instead so that you will not end up wounding your relationship with your children.
