When Kids Boss Siblings, Melt Down Over Losing, Prove Their Point or Say, “That’s Not Fair!” #514

from Calm Parenting Podcast

Do you have a child who is bossy, melts down over changes in plans or when little things go wrong? Acts like a sore loser when playing games? Collects little stones and acorns in their pant pockets? Wears the same clothes and eats the same foods? Likes to say, “That’s not fair!” and won’t stop following you until they prove their point? Has difficulty with executive function and following directions? Struggles with anxiety over new experiences? Good. Kirk explains why all of these behaviors have the same root…and similar solutions.
