Morning power struggles | Q&A with Dr. J...

Dr. Jazmine
About this episode

It’s just one of those mornings - you know, the kind when NOTHING satisfies your child. 😰 No matter how much you try to reason with them, validate their feelings or accommodate their needs, they insist on digging in their heels, changing their minds & making unreasonable demands left and right. Now you’re spiraling, yelling, and exhausted… And it’s only 7 AM. 🤬😳

In this episode, I’ll be sharing:

  1. The #1 reason kids dig in their heels 

  2. How to respond to their constant demands and whining 

  3. How to re-think these moments so you’re less likely to lose your cool.
