Raised Resilient: Help Your Highly Sensitive Child

Parenting Reflections: “Why Are You Being So Mean?!”: How to Get Curious About Even the Most Challenging Behaviors


Listen Later

Sometimes our kids say or do things that seem downright MEAN, and it’s really tough to know how to respond. In these moments, it’s easy to lose sight of the good kid underneath the challenging behavior, and it’s easy to react in big and unhelpful ways.

In this week's episode, I share a story from my own parenting where I had to get curious and really look for the need underneath challenging behavior. I share my own struggles and how, once I was truly able to get curious, I uncovered the REAL reason for the behavior.

Here’s the thing: When our kids say and do things that seem mean or manipulative or otherwise hard to understand, there’s always a reason – and it’s never just that you have a mean-spirited, bad kid! When you can truly get curious, you’ll open up a whole new reality in your relationship with your highly sensitive child.
