212 // Lying, Shyness, Easily Frustrated and Deeply Feeling Kids and How They Are All Good Inside, with Dr. Becky Kennedy Part 3

It’s easy to keep our cool, accept our children for who they are, and hold boundaries with unconditional love when our kids are behaving well, but what about when their behavior scares us? What do we do when our kids lie? What about when they are feeling extra reserved and we worry they won’t be able to navigate social situations? How do we handle when our kids are so easily frustrated for reasons we don’t even understand (does it really matter how your socks line up with your heel?

In this episode, we draw on Dr. Becky Kennedy’s book Good Inside to address these issues. We share many ways of reframing these difficult situations in a way that really helps us as parents see things in a bit more clearly and patiently.

Review of the week from Bprause

My go to

I am inspired literally. Every. Episode. I recommend you to all of my friends. I love my children to pieces and I am so grateful to have found a sound resource that I can turn to, to unfold the best version of myself for them. Until recent years I turned my nose up at all ‘self-help’ type resources. Until I discovered one day I don’t know more than everyone. Now I want ot learn from the best. I truly feel like you ladies are top tier, and I truly truly thank you.
