Why We Need to Stop Rescuing Our Kids [Monthly Special Episode]

If we don’t let our kids fail, make mistakes, they will not learn to bounce back. As hard as it may be, we need to stop rescuing our kids.

We shouldn’t get into our kids business, try to fix things for them, deny them their experience, replace a broken toy, replace a lost item, solve their problems for them, do things for them. In doing so we take away the opportunity for them to be responsible and autonomous and have a chance to solve their own problems.  their ability to

Our job is not to make our kids happy at all times. We need to give them time and space for them to process their feelings. When we do that kids become resourceful and solve their own problems.

Does your child wake up at night in terror? Do you want to know what’s the difference between nightmares and night terrors?

Is your child into Pokemon cards. We have got a good question about trading cards, cheating and how to help your child navigate complicated social interactions.

You also want to know why it’s important NOT to rescue kids. 

The monthly special episode has 3 segments:

  • Examples From Our Homes
  • What’s up With You? Listener questions
  • Favorite Finds of the month

Also, another guest appears, a sleep consultant Susie Parker to address some questions related to nightmares and night terrors. Do you know the difference? Do you want to know how to handle those?
