Ep. 128: My Child Hates Having their Feelings Validated- Friday Q&A

Why does my child hate having their feelings validated?

In this episode, I talk about the top 5 reasons I see about why kids don’t like their feelings validated:

1. It feels too vulnerable
2. It feels intrusive
3. You’re getting it wrong
4. You’re on the watchdog or possum pathway
5. They are too far down the watchdog & possum pathway

This is a Friday Q&A episode, where I answer a listener’s question.
