132 Erin LoPorto: Why Telling Your Child, “Don’t Worry” Doesn’t Help

Hey Friends~  Your Feelings are a message from your body.  It’s the same for your kids.   How do you attune to your child’s feelings - instead of telling them not to feel as they do?   Do quickly tell your child how to behave?  (“Don’t worry.”  “Settle down.”  or “You don’t need to feel that way.”)  This kind of response backfires in relationships   Or  Do you reflect back to them how they are feeling?  This is not an easy skill.  However, it is a skill that is learnable!   Join the FREE Interactive Webinar!
