When we react with strong emotions each time our child is upset by a setback or challenge, we add our unnecessary anxiety to an already emotionally charged situation. A situation that might resolve or dissolve in the next moment if it isn't fueled by attention and energy. This is something to be especially aware of in today's parent/child relationship where we have access to one another all day long via text. This episode invites you to intentionally choose when and where to direct your energy.  In doing so, we model a balanced approach to dealing with discomfort. We are teaching that every uncomfortable feeling, mistake or challenge is not an emergency. This is how we create conditions for resilient, flexible and balanced kids.
