Shownotes

In this episode, you and I are going to explore how we teach children to tolerate stress and sit with discomfort (and one thing our culture misses about how to do this). Then, you’re going to reflect on your patterns when you witness your child struggling. Once you know your pattern, we’ll unpack one action that you can experiment with today. You’ll also hear an excerpt from the book Raising Change Agents: Practicing Social Justice in Everyday Parenting too.
