Summary

Raising A Resilient, Responsible Child (Even When They Thrash About!) #458

How do you NOT react and get triggered when your child is in a bad mood or slamming dresser drawers, then acts like nothing happened? I want your kids to feel frustrated and distressed…so they learn that they are capable of working through hard things in life. Kirk shows you how to resist jumping in to fix situations so your kids can develop the confidence and resilience to solve their own problems. Super important so please share.
