Summary

My guest today is Breanne, whose five-year-old son wants other children at school to like him and innocently makes himself a pest with his neediness. Breanne is baffled about how to help him. She wants him to be confident in himself, to stop telling bad jokes, learn how to play with others or learn how to be quiet within himself. But how? That’s the question. How is a mother to show her five-year-old the way? And what is that way? Join us as Breanne learns how to question the thoughts that are causing her grief. Get still, open your mind, and relax. Ready? Let’s do The Work!
