Jo Frost Instagram – Go figure it out….remember adults telling you this?
If you never heard or have never said this occasionally, as an adult,the likely chance is you’ve mow quite a bit with your children.
Being so over protective of your child’s own feelings denies them the gift to identify & overcome as a very natural part of their development leading them to become more resilient.
So here’s a few pointers to help:
Your child must experience consequences so that they can develop problem solving skills and coping skills hopefully from yourself as their role model.
Listen to your child,sometimes all they want is your ears & empathy.
Encourage more age appropriate activities that will drive their independence and competence.
Establish boundaries a big one for many of you.
Last but not least, no projecting.
Your child’s upset makes you feel uncomfortable, so do learn to get comfortable with that….and if your guidance is needed, you can help without creating co-dependent behavior.
