Engaging Your Child's Emotions Without Getting Enmeshed #015

Our kids have BIG emotions. Sometimes they come out in very big ways, and others they don't come at all. How do we engage with our kids with their feelings when they feel uncomfortably big? How do we draw out our kids who don't express their feelings freely? And, how do we keep our identities separate from their's so we don't become overly enmeshed?

This week we talk all about these challenges. Plus, Rachael teaches us how to use the yes/no "game" to uncover what's really going on in our kids' hearts.

It's the week of Thanksgiving, so the Stat of the Week is all about the Macy's Day Parade (via WalletHub).


Be sure to share this with a friend who needs some encouragement, who might benefit from this conversation on our kids' emotions or who just needs a good laugh at our expense.
