Are you a sympathetic parent or an empathic parent? When your child “falls
in a hole”, ie, he gets cut from a team, didn’t get the playing time he
hoped he get, had a bad game, lost, do you “jump in the hole” with him or
do you stand near “the hole” (proverbially hole, of course), ask good
questions and see how you could help by witnesses his pain.
In today’s episode, Kirsten and Susie talk about several tools we find
helpful when parents contact us to ask how best to help their child in a
moment of crisis. Kirsten also shared a four step process to help your teen
learn ANY NEW SKILL. Check it out, try it out and please, let us know how
it goes!
