118. The Problem with Why!

As parents, we can often find ourselves asking our children
“why?” Why are they acting this way? Why do they always forget
things? Why are they not listening? We think that what our kid is
doing is the problem. If they just acted differently, we wouldn’t
get so frustrated and dysregulated. In reality, we have to step
back in these moments and realize that it’s not our kids that are
the problem, but really our thoughts that are triggering us.


 


This week, I talk about why asking your kid “why” is never a good
idea. I discuss why choosing different thoughts and answering
that “why” on your own can lead to a greater connection with your
kid.
