Your Parenting Long Game

Episode 327: Use the Sink Metaphor to Get Unstuck from Dramatic Situations


Listen Later

It's very common as we're raising kids with big emotions to walk on eggshells, fearing the moment we might "set them off." But it is possible to learn to diffuse dramatic situations more easily so that we can handle them instead of dreading them.

In this episode, you'll learn, through the "sink metaphor":

  • Why it's absolutely in our power to make situations better instead of worse

  • What our kids really need so that they (and we) don't get stuck in the drama

  • What our responses are like from our children's perspective
