Reasons Children Lie CREDIT @Dr.MDC_psychologist

When your child is struggling, how do you respond? You may be tempted to put a Band-Aid on the situation, but well-meaning statements like "Don't be upset" or "...Cheer up!" are often counterproductive and can make your child feel alone or ashamed. Instead, try empathizing with your young one by stepping into their world. Relate to them and validate their emotions. This could sound like "I'm sorry you're feeling discouraged. I remember feeling the same way when I was your age. Tell me more about this." Empathy leads to empowerment. When your child knows you hear and understand them, they're more likely to communicate with you. Your relationship will be enriched.

Learning and enacting skills and behaviors for ourselves, that our children can "see" and "try on" in their own lives. What is something you intentionally model for your child/ren?
