Episode 242: Why You Don’t Have to (and Shouldn’t) Try to Convince Your Child to be OK with Your Limits
Even when we set limits and boundaries that are logical and make sense, our children with big emotions often have BIG reactions: whining, arguing, complaining, etc. How can we set much-needed limits for our children without causing long-term damage to our relationships? In this episode, you’ll learn why explaining our reasoning for limits when kids get upset actually makes things worse. You’ll also learn a plan to reduce drama around limits and boundaries, including a Long Game strategy that can eliminate resistance and build trust between us and our children.
