If your child flips out when they hear 'no,' they aren't bratty or spoiled or manipulative or any of those things.

They are kids with vulnerable nervous systems and low frustration tolerance.

Frustration feels yucky.

So does disappointment (they go together).

Being OK when things aren't OK is a developmental skill. You can grow your child's brain and overtime they can be OK with NO.

This week's podcast is all about how to help a child who falls apart when they don't get what they want.

That moment when you're looking at your child, baffled by the intense of their meltdown over what seems to be a teeny tiny problem? Yup. I can help you with that!
