Kids often say or do things that leave us juggling emotions, expectations, and social rules - like telling a friend they can’t come to their birthday party. In this episode, I share how these moments are opportunities for empathy, without getting locked into power struggles.
You’ll hear practical strategies for guiding kids through big feelings, when to be concerned, and when to leave them to work it out on their own. Plus, I share real-life examples from our own family so you can see these approaches in action.
