Stop solving all of your child's problems

It’s challenging to see your child frustrated, angry, or having trouble, so it makes sense that you feel the urge to help them when they’re struggling. At the same time, having you jump in to solve their problems isn’t always what your child needs. Dr. Nanika Coor offers suggestions for figuring out when a problem is yours to solve and when it’s more helpful to facilitate your child finding their own solutions to their problems.

Additional resources:

• How to talk so your family will listen to you
• How to listen so your child feels heard
• How to reduce your child's challenging behavior
• How to practice radical acceptance as a parent

Project Parenthood is hosted by Dr. Nanika Coor. A transcript is available at Simplecast.
