from Cantonese4Parents · host Becca

Today, we’re pulling a question straight from The Story of Us journal (p.108): What’s something you’d love to do but feel too scared to try?We’ve all been there. We wanting to do something but feeling that little (or big) voice of fear holding us back. But wait… what do we do when our kid’s “big dream” is something we really don’t want them to follow through on? In this episode, we’ll talk about what’s actually behind answers like this, how to respond without shutting the conversation down, and how to turn it into a chance to connect (without just saying “because I said so!”).
