So one of my all time favorite values I try to instill in my children is the value of perseverance and hard work. It's a topic we regularly circle back to so you can imagine my shock when my 6-year old once blurted out "I'm stupid" while trying to learn a new skill. In this week's episode I share a quick story time of how I handled her statement so that she walked away feeling: Understood and connected with me, more equipped to understand how her mind works, and more self-confident and willing to try hard things. // Don’t forget to check out my free anger eBook - "Your 3-Step Plan When Your Child Gets Angry or Aggressive” www.themompsychologist.com/ebook

When our kids get aggressive, it's sooo tempting to respond reactively and:
- Yelling & getting aggressive back.
- Asking questions ("Why are you doing this??")
- Trying to reason with them when they're in an emotional state (e.g., "Well you know we don't have dessert before dinner.")
- Lecturing them or telling them to "Stop!" - Ignoring them and pretending it's not happening.

But I'm here to be your voice of reason and help you with this!

I don’t know about y’all but as a mom of 3, I have a no tolerance policy for demanding behavior.

If we don't lovingly intervene *in the moment,* children learn quick that making demands is how they get their needs.

In this week's episode, I share my easy 3-step process to curbing demanding and impatient behaviors so our children can learn how to respectfully ask for what they need.

Whether they're aware of it or not, they're trying to process what they observed and learn more about the behavior by testing out how we will respond to it.

When done correctly, these conversations have the ability to:
Increase our child's social awareness
Foster connection and trust between parent-child
Help them re-think their self-concept and position themselves as "leaders" rather than "followers

In this week's episode, I share how I address negative behaviors picked up from school using my clear 4-step process.
