Doug is joined by Monica Hinderer to continue their discussion about the damage criticism does to children: They share how damaging negative self-talk can be in raising children and the value of positive affirmation to combat the negativity. Doug and Monica tackle listener questions and comments on the following:

·         Doug goes to the mailbag and gives advice to a listener struggling with enmeshment and the impact it has during the holidays.

·         My kindergartner talked about kissing a girl in his class. We thought it wasn't serious but the day he tried to kiss me; it was really weird. What should I do?

·         Struggling in disciplining stepdaughters.

·         I wish my daughter in law would behave a certain way. How should I approach her directly?
