When your child is struggling with something that’s gone wrong, your instinctive response is probably to help them fix it. Most well-intentioned parents jump right to trying to solve their children’s problems, but in doing so miss the most important step. Children often need their parents to validate their feelings before they’re ready to do something about those feelings.
Check out this video for how to do it.
