"You love my brothers more than me!"
These prickly thoughts are hard! They're hard for you to hear, hard for them to feel, and hard to know what to do.
In this week's episode, Dr. Gila walks through how to handle this and similar situations in response to a listener whose daughter's recent meltdowns seem to be related to sibling jealousy.
You'll hear...
- What's really going on when your child says something like this.
- The three key ingredients for supporting your child and yourself through these tough phases.
- Practical tips for how to respond in the moment without just arguing "No I don't!"
