Embarrassing Kid Habits: Nose Picking, Pants Pooping & More

Parenting can be embarrassing! It’s natural to feel some shame when your potty-trained kiddo smells like a full diaper, or when they’re walking around in public with a finger up their nose. But your best tool for dealing with those embarrassing kid behaviors is putting the shame aside, and creating a home where your kids know they can talk about anything without judgment.  In this episode, you’ll learn: How to build trust with your kids by holding space for them to share their most embarrassing moments. The opportunity that embarrassing habits provide for developing that sharing relationship.  How our instinct to protect kids from teasing can interfere with helping them manage unwanted behaviors. The most important thing you can say when a kiddo shares something they’re embarrassed about. And much more!  As always, thanks for listening.
