165: When Kids are Hard on Themselves Part 1
Description
In my latest podcast episode, I'm tackling self-berating behavior in our kiddos, especially around ages five to seven. I break it down with practical insights and strategies to help you navigate this challenging phase. One key tip is differentiating between attention-seeking behavior and more serious concerns. I reassure you that sudden self-deprecating thoughts aren't necessarily red flags for severe mental health issues. It's all about understanding and creating a safe space for open dialogue with your child. I dive into the power of storytelling as a parenting tool and share how it can normalize mistakes and help build resilience. Throughout, I stress the importance of being present, attentive, and fostering that meaningful connection with your little ones. Let's make your parenting journey a little smoother!
