What do you do when your child is doing everything in their power (and succeeding) to overwhelm you?
The other day, my daughter told me "mommy, you should have told me this doesn't overwhelm you because then I'd stop". So my child is well aware and doing it on purpose.
How can I teach my almost 5yo to tolerate frustration?
How do I speak to my son about body image and is it ok to call him when he's with his dad?
I have two unrelated questions today.
My son has been talking a lot lately about not liking the way he looks. He sometimes looks at the mirror and says he is ugly and the other day he told me girls at school are telling him he is short. I am not sure how to help him.
When he is with dad and I call him, he doesn't seem to want to talk most of the time.
My 7yo and 5yo sons have nasty fights. What is the best way to handle them?
My 7yo and 5yo sons play well most of the time but continue to get into nasty fights over silly things and I see a lot of anger coming from both of them when the other does something annoying.
Should I punish the one that hits by placing them in time-out or taking away a benefit like no tv later etc?
How do I help my school aged son manage his big feelings?
My son has always been a highly sensitive kid that is highly aware of everything and everyone around him but I have noticed that as he is getting older he keeps looking for more validation from the outside and I really want to help him change this because it is a struggle for him whenever he does not get this.
