Episode 88: How to Make It Easier for Children To Use Healthy Coping Strategies

As you may know, negative behaviors (aggression, disrespect, defiance, meltdowns, shutdowns) often indicate that a child is not coping in a healthy way. And you may have tried to teach your children to use healthier coping strategies many times in the past… but they still don’t use those strategies as often as you’d like them to. In this episode, you’ll learn why children have such a hard time using healthy coping skills. You’ll also learn what you can do to make it easier for them -- and more likely that they’ll use these more respectful and helpful strategies rather than resorting to negative behaviors, moods, and attitudes.
