Summary

We may not always agree with the parenting styles of our relatives and friends, and that's okay. Get-togethers can still be enjoyable, positive social experiences for us and for our kids. In this episode, Janet offers her perspective on some of the common challenges that arise in gatherings with friends, family, and in public situations with other kids and parents. Her suggestions include:

How to set ourselves up for success
Being proactive, rather than reactive
Effective interventions with other parents’ children (as well as our own)

0:00.0	Hi, this is Janet Landsbury. Welcome to Unreffold. Today I'm going to be speaking to some of the
0:09.6	common scenarios that parents share with me and that I've experienced myself with family gatherings,
0:17.9	relatives, friends, other children, even just people that you might see in the park. How do we
0:25.3	handle children's behavior in these situations and intervene with the adults as well? This is a big,
0:32.6	big topic. There are a lot of variables. I wish I could cover everything and I'm not going to be
0:37.4	able to. That's already frustrating me, but I'm going to do my best to talk about some of the most
0:43.6	common issues and how to respond to them effectively. First, I want to share a quick message from our

1:09.9	It doesn't solve anything and in fact it can be counterproductive. I've used an online
1:15.2	therapist from time to time to help me sort through personal issues and my husband has too. So I can
1:20.9	attest firsthand to the benefits. An experienced, empathetic therapist can make all the difference.

1:34.2	and absolutely affordable. Whatever issues you're dealing with and we all have issues,
1:39.6	maybe stress, anxiety, relationships, family conflicts, intimacy, self-esteem, trauma,
1:46.4	better help will match you with a licensed professional therapist in less than 48 hours.
1:52.4	If your initial therapist doesn't feel like a good fit for any reason, it happens. It's simple
1:58.0	and free to switch to another. Right now, BetterHelp has a special offer for my listeners and I
2:03.7	really hope you'll take advantage. Get 10% off your first month at BetterHelp.com slash respect.
2:12.2	That's 10% off your first month of online therapy at BetterHELP.com slash respect.
2:22.2	And now for a little self-promotion. If you're looking for holiday gifts,
