My Daughter Said, "I'm Stupid!" - Here's How I Responded | 50

12m · The Mom Psychologist Show · 04 Jan 18:00

So one of my all time favorite values I try to instill in my children is the value of perseverance and hard work. It's a topic we regularly circle back to so you can imagine my shock when my 6-year old once blurted out "I'm stupid" while trying to learn a new skill. In this week's episode I share a quick story time of how I handled her statement so that she walked away feeling: Understood and connected with me, more equipped to understand how her mind works, and more self-confident and willing to try hard things. // Don’t forget to check out my free anger eBook - "Your 3-Step Plan When Your Child Gets Angry or Aggressive” www.themompsychologist.com/ebook

How to discipline in public | 57

Picture this - You’re at a party and all of a sudden another child comes up to you and tells you your child SPIT on another child. 😳What in the world? You’re instantly filled with anxiety, shock, and embarrassment. You step in to find out what’s going on but to your dismay, your child won’t say ANYTHING. Nothing brings out more stress and pressure than parenting in the wild (especially when your child won’t cooperate). 

In this episode, I’ll be sharing 1) How to interpret public misbehavior, 2) Exactly what to do and say during these stressful moments, and 3) What NOT to do (aka mistakes to avoid) and why.
