When we’re deciding how to respond to kids’ behavior, we’re often motivated by preventing bad things from happening in the future. We want to do everything we can to make sure they turn out to be responsible and respectful, and that they have success and happiness later in life.

In this episode, you’ll learn why “future thinking” creates more worry and doesn’t have the positive impact you’d think. You’ll also learn tips to help you prevent this type of thinking so that you can give your kids what they actually need to be successful.  See Rachel's free video series created for parents of children with big emotions Follow Rachel in Instagram Join Rachel’s Facebook group Sign up for Rachel’s free weekly tips by email
