Everybody Gets What They Need | How to respond when kids say "no fair"

This week, Layne and Jess reframe fairness into a more powerful concept: equity, ensuring everyone gets what they need. We offer practical scripts to explain this concept to your child, and discuss how to navigate those inevitable one-toy toddler meltdowns. This episode dives into:

• Why "no fair" complaints emerge around age 3 and how it relates to brain development
• Understanding the difference between fairness and equity
• Emphasizing that parents' needs matter too in family dynamics
• Guiding children through disappointment and unfulfilled wants
• Building resilience and empathy in kids by focusing on meeting diverse needs
• Communicating effectively with your co-parent about family needs
• Prioritizing needs based on your values and current circumstances
