Episode 357: Can Kids CHOOSE To Act Differently When They're in Yuck?
Many kids with big emotions have big reactions when things don't go their way. They may yell, slam doors, roll their eyes, or even say disrespectful things when they are upset. And while it's natural for parents to think that our children are choosing to be rude or defiant, something else is actually happening instead.
In this episode, you'll learn:
-
What's going on in the brain that explains why Yuck behaviors are not a conscious choice
-
Why this is NOT an excuse for negative behavior
-
How kids can learn to handle their "Yuck Urge"… and how this builds their confidence rather than eroding it
