49 Why Did My Child Do That?! and How To Ask. The Answer May Not Be What You Think!

Hello Friends, I am glad you are here!  Happy Memorial Day 2023 to my American listeners! Your child - No Doubt - does things that make NO SENSE to you!~  We are left scratching our heads in wonder or leaving you in a state of frustration!  We ask "Why did you do that!?" half meaning "stop it!" and half authentically inquiring.  Today, we will discuss that authentic inquiry.  Come learn how to ask "Why?" in a way that gets you to understand what is actually going on inside your child's brain, by listening to a story! Does your child get confused when you ask “Why?” questions? Do they struggle to answer in a way that makes sense?  There are a few possibilities for this. The first part of this is.  Are You causing the confusion?  We usually think we speak clearly.  However, as adults, our tone and body language has lots of meaning embedded that causes what we say to not actually mean what we say. The younger our kids are, the more literal thinkers they are.  Are we creating confusion when “Why did you do that?” is not actually a question? Cheering you on!   Dinalynn Rosenbush Contact Dinalynn:  [email protected] Celebrating EPISODE 50!  Come back next time for amazing specials!
