193. Accidentally Inviting the Outcomes You're Trying to Avoid

Well that backfired!

When we parent out of fear, our short-sighted reactions can add fuel to the fire. This can create unintended consequences, like MORE helplessness, MORE sibling resentment, and MORE attention-seeking.

In this episode, I cover where this starts, two extremely common examples, and what to do instead.

IN THIS EPISODE I SHARED:

• The Boomerang Effect: What you push away, comes back full force
• A parallel to the movie- Monsters, Inc.
• The "Veruca Salt" mentality we're all afraid of

DON'T MISS:

• How the best of intentions can actually create MORE entitlement or sibling rivalry
