HELPING CHILDREN PROCESS DISAPPOINTMENTS

“I want to invite you to see this as an opportunity to help your child develop a capacity to be resilient. If you get in the way, you might be keeping your child from being able to develop those skills. Handling disappointment and sadness is like a muscle that needs to be worked out. Your child needs to continue to work out this resiliency muscle.”   This week on the 3D Parent Podcast, I’ll share some valuable tips on how you can help your child process disappointments so they can grow into a mature and resilient adult.   We will also look at ways you can hold space for your children when they are in a fragile state, especially with stress and disappointments triggered by the pandemic. Finally, I’ll provide some pointers on what to avoid doing when your children are going through the process of disappointment and frustration.   If you have enjoyed this episode of the podcast, take a screenshot, head on over to Instagram and share it your IG stories and tag me, @the3Dparent    Do you have a parenting question for an upcoming episode?  I would LOVE to connect with you and answer your questions.  Please share your parenting question here!    Grab your free copy of the 10 Steps To Get Back in Control of Your Children here!     EPISODES TO FURTHER THE DISCUSSION: Episode 23: Surviving and Thriving During the Coronavirus Outbreak Episode 32: Tears: The Key to Getting Kids “Unstuck”   CONNECT WITH THE 3D PARENT: Instagram Facebook
