Moments #58 - My Daughter Had A Mean Girl Moment — On Group Think, Stepping Back and Raising Resilient Children - Tiffany Scott (Sanya)

My 3 year old daughter had a mean girl experience on holiday this week.Every instinct in me wanted to swoop in and fix it. But instead I stepped in gently, with humour, and tried to show her something more useful.As we walked away I told her that sometimes people will be mean. And we practised her stern voice together so she is ready for next time.In this episode:→ Fighting the immediate parental instinct to swoop in and fix everything→ Why I stepped in with humour rather than to punish or humiliate→ The long game — building resilience versus building dependence→ Parenting is just trying different things and hoping you land somewhere good enoughI do not know if I got it right. But I am hoping I got close enough.
