Opening Up vs. Shutting Down | One of the most common questions parents ask me is how to get their child to open up. No matter how old your kid is, there are times when you know something is going on but can't seem to figure it out. Ultimately, we don't just want kids to share; we also want to be able to influence them to be on the right path.
But most of the ways we try to achieve this actually shut kids down and make them cling to their bad decisions or attitudes even more tightly! On this week's episode of Confessions Of A Parent Coach, I'll show you why our default approach backfires and what to do instead.
It all comes down to emotional safety, and this is hard to create. If you're ready to learn how to establish this with your child, set up a free Discovery Call so I can learn about your family, help you see the roadmap to the family dynamics of your dreams, and decide if I am the person to help you get there. https://calendly.com/annkaplan/discoverycall
