Dr. Rebecca Schrag Hershberg, a clinical psychologist and author of The Tantrum Survival Guide, shares four strategies to get kids to open up when they shut down. Most parents hit a wall with "What's the matter?" and get only "fine" in return. These techniques help children feel safe enough to actually talk.
How do we respond when we know that something's bothering our child but they won't tell us? This is a frequent question asked me by my clients. They've tried, "What's the matter?" They get nothing. They've asked, "Are you okay?" And their kid says, "Fine." In today's episode, I'm thrilled to have Dr. Rebecca Schrag Hershberg, clinical psychologist, parenting coach, author, and public speaker as my guest. Rebecca and I became friends via Instagram. I respect her work so much, and I absolutely love her book, The Tantrum Survival Guide, which I recommend to all my clients. So today Rebecca and I are talking about 4 powerful ways to get our kids to open up to us.
