Building Resilient Kids: Parenting Strategies That Work #transformativeparenting #parentingtips

Children are like all humans, they have frustrations that build up over time. And when those frustrations hit a certain level, they are much more likely to act out in some sort of aggressive way. That can be things like hitting and biting and kicking and having tantrums when they're younger. And then when they get older. It can also go beyond physical aggression. Things like passive aggressiveness or sarcasm or just being mean. The natural way that the body lets go of the frustration that leads to aggression, when we feel our feelings and process them until they all come out. Usually this includes a really good letting it all out kind of cry. When kids don't get out their tears, it's pretty much a sure thing that they're going to be aggressive in some way. That's why it's important for parents to set limits with them in a firm and clear but loving way. When parents help their kids get out their tears, they're helping avoid aggression and they're helping their children become adaptive and resilient human beings.
