Parenting with PLAY!

When your child shouts "Go Away" and slams their door - with Michelle Puster


Listen Later

Do you ever struggle to know what to do when your child runs to their room, slams the door and shouts at you to “Go Away!”?

If you're like many of my clients, you might feel confused about what to do.

On the one hand, you want to respect your child's boundaries and not force yourself in when they've told you go away.

But on the other hand, your child is clearly upset and you don't want to leave them alone with their upset feelings.  

So what do you do?!

In this episode, my fabulous client Michelle shares a really cool thing she does with her kids in those moments that I think you're going to love.

This is perfect for those times when you're not in the mood to go into your chid's room and actively listen to their upset feelings, but you're still wanting to connect and help them.
