219. How To Handle A Sensitive Child That Isn’t Resilient

Your sensitive child freezes in frustration, don't they?   Schoolwork, chores, friendships - the second things get tough, they quit.   As their parent, witnessing their lack of resilience breaks your heart.   You know deep down that if they could move through discomfort, amazing things would happen.   Yet every time you try coaching them, every time you encourage perseverance...   You get met with tears, tantrums, and complete shutdown from your discouraged child.   Your frustration boils over in those heated moments despite your best intentions.   You revert to criticizing, yelling, or simply giving up yourself out of sheer exasperation.   After all, you feel like you can't be calm and lead with compassion when they won’t listen.   Listen to learn more.
