How Parents Can Be There for Their Kids

In episode 299 of Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things, we are back with our Wednesday segment where I chat with psychologists, therapists and other experts on the science of personal growth. The month of August will focus on The Power of Prizing vs. Praising Others and features Licensed Clinical Psychologist Dr. Mitch Abblett. This episode talks about the difference between prizing and praising in a child/adult relationship which could be parent/child, teacher/child, etc. You'll hear examples of what a typical praise is and how to adjust it to get a better result with prizing, how to let kids know you see them especially in times of pain or even depression, why showing up with presence makes a difference over trying to control the situation, how to take a one down when a child gives poor behavior to get a better response and why adults need to drop their agenda.
