We started reading How To Talk So Little Kids Will Listen by Joanna Faber and Julie King and loved the tools in the first chapter that really help with emotional situations with your kids. When they have meltdowns or whine and complain, the initial thought is to teach them why they shouldn’t be doing that. But it turns out, children just want their emotions to be validated. Take a listen as we share how to respond to your kids when they have emotional meltdowns. And here are the links to the websites we referred to throughout the episode.https://www.amazon.com/Talk-Little-Kids-Will-Listen/dp/150113163X/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1CM4EBV8R89OR&keywords=how+to+talk+so+little+kids+will+listen+book&qid=1569293816&s=gateway&sprefix=how+to+talk+%2Caps%2C323&sr=8-2Don't forget to follow us on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/alexistannerlane We’d love to hear your comments on this episode!And leave us review!
