Episode 79: When Children Say Mean Things About Themselves

While it’s difficult to see children being mean to others, it’s just as hard to hear them being mean to themselves, saying things like “I’m stupid,” “I’m ugly,” or “I have no friends.” And often the way we respond to those statements doesn’t seem to make them feel better. In this episode, you’ll learn why our (logical) responses may do more harm than good… and what you can say and do instead to improve how your child views themselves.
