Kids Who Get Angry, Say "I'm Stupid" or Shut Down When You Remind or Correct Them? #572

You are a good parent so you simply remind your child to do something. Do you have a child who then reacts angrily, shuts down, or has a meltdown? Does your child struggle with ADHD, short-term memory or forgetting things? Do you have a child who beats himself up and says things like, “I am so stupid!”? It can be painful to hear the negative self-talk. I want to give you a script and action steps that will change how your child sees himself or herself…and how you see them.

These are two bright, insightful Moms asking tough questions and wrestling with their own issues. I think you will find it so helpful I asked if we could share this directly with our audience.
