210: When Struggles Happen
Join us as we discuss a challenging topic: When struggles happen! Let's get right to it! When struggles happen, it's usually because our kids aren't doing what we want them to do. Parents often have an agenda and kids often don't have that same agenda. There's a big difference between reacting vs responding and we discuss this in detail. We also dive into how the disparity between our priorities vs the needs of our children is often what creates struggles. We share our simple (but oh-so-effective!) strategy for responding to struggles when they arise. 3-Step Response Strategy Stop and take a break Take responsibility and get curious Co-create a plan together Using this 3-step response strategy and working through a struggle is often the best form of learning that our children can experience. Don't forget to celebrate working through a struggle together! This last season of our podcast is for homeschooling parents, traditional school parents, and everyone in between. This is our last season and definitely our best season! We're here to show you how to: Identify learning opportunities in everything you do, how to celebrate your child's differences, and how to give yourself and your kids credit for all the things you're already doing.
