171: When Kids Say They Can't Do Something and We Know They CAN

You know the drill. Your kid can totally dress themselves and then suddenly they have a meltdown getting dressed because suddenly they can't. Today, we'll discuss this phenomenon through the lens of the typical morning rush. From helping children get dressed to managing their resistance to activities, it's all about finding the delicate balance between support and independence. Join me as we explore strategies for promoting cooperation, fostering autonomy, and understanding the mental load both moms and toddlers carry. Together, we'll tackle the morning madness and embrace the freedom of letting our children express themselves through their outfit choices.
