180. Conflict Resolution for Your HSC: Teaching Healthy Ways to Express Frustration

STOP trying to solve your kid’s problems. That might be a weird way to start a podcast … But way too many parents go into “fix it mode” the moment their kid enters a meltdown. If you do this, it’s keeping them stuck in a destructive cycle. I know you’re only trying to help. Trouble is, “fix it mode” usually means bypassing your kid’s feelings, and looking for a solution. To you and I, a solution is the best thing, right? But to your child, mid-meltdown, a solution is the last thing they want. What do they want? To feel validated. And to know you hear them and see them. That’s not to say you can’t problem solve.You just need to solve the problem together. Listen on to learn more.
