Your Parenting Long Game

Episode 337: If You Worry That Your Child Won’t Be Able to Handle Disappointment or Frustration in Life


Listen Later

When our children react strongly to disappointment or frustration, we often feel like we need to cater to their needs or give in to keep the peace. And then we worry that our child’s big emotions will keep them from learning how to handle the inevitable challenges they’ll face in life! Fortunately, even children with big feelings can learn to handle obstacles effectively. 

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

  • Why feeling strongly is strength -- and why it’s important we don’t teach our children to hide their emotions 

  • Why we don’t have to cater to our children to prevent hard feelings…and how to empower them instead 

  • A Long Game Parenting strategy that helps kids and parents learn how to respect negative emotions without being controlled by them (with several practical examples)
