The Art of Giving Kids Choices and How it Can Backfire


Listen Later

When I coach parents, they often describe how and why they give their children choices. This idea is well-intended, and I know parents are trying to achieve positive results. There are some things parents need to be aware of when it comes to giving their kids choices. In this episode, I cover the three things every parent needs to know before they start offering choice after choice in hopes that it will tame their strong-willed, independent child. 


What we go over on giving kids choices and how it can backfire:

  • When you offer a choice matters
  • Why are you offering a choice
  • Offering choices constantly will backfire
  • How are you presenting the choice
