Description

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...     5:38 - How to determine what is driving your child's desire to quit an activity.   6:15 - Weighing the pros and cons between letting your child quit (and potentially not learning to persist, make a commitment, and tolerate struggle) versus not letting them quit and forcing them to do something that may no longer be serving them   7:05 - Determining the parameters around when and how you allow them to stop an activity.   9:38 - "The goal, and how we're going to respond to this, is to explore it rather than fix it."   15:18 - How to separate our own expectations and desires from what we project onto our children.     ✨We want to hear from you!
