Parenting with PLAY!

Anger to tears to laughter. Setting a limit about dinner with my 8 year old


Listen Later

Unless it's pesto pasta, fish & chips or pizza, George, 8, will complain about what I've cooked for dinner.

Earlier this week, I could see that he needed to offload some big feelings he was carrying.  He'd been quick to temper for a while and so I used his refusal to eat my (delicious!) dinner to help him with his upset.

I set the limit and I listened to his rage....

In this episode I share about what happened:

- how he reacted

- what I did to set the limit

- how it's different to listen now that he's 8

- how I integrated play

- how he was afterwards
