Over the last few episodes, Lauren has discussed how other cultures teach cooperation, helpfulness, motivation, and emotional control. This is the third episode in a three part series on how other cultures handle children's misbehavior. You can find the link to the first two episodes in the show notes. 

Lauren does a quick review of the strategies discussed in the first two episodes and then adds a couple more. Today these include using role play, questions, and general lightheartedness to change the situation. 

Lauren answers this week’s listener question during the episode: There’s a significant age gap between our youngest child and our middle child. It creates huge power struggles and is tough to manage the emotional needs of both. 

Try-at-home tip:  Read more children’s stories and do more creating.
