Frustration tolerance is one of the most important skills in childhood - and adulthood. After all, most things in life require hard work, and so teaching our kids "how" to struggle (and stick with things) is truly one of the most important things we can do as parents. Being a kid is hard. From building blocks to putting on your own socks to spreading butter, there are a million little things that kids need to learn - all of which are full of frustration at first.

Here’s the thing: punishments don’t teach kids right from wrong; guidance and connection do. One way to do this is by validating our kid’s feelings while holding a clear, consistent boundary. This can look like, “I won’t let you hit. It’s okay to feel angry, but we need to find another way to show it.” My upcoming live workshop, Effective Alternatives to Punishments: Transforming Behavior, Strengthening Bonds, breaks this approach down into clear, actionable strategies like this one.

Two things are true: I don’t have a “favorite topic” to talk about AND if I had to choose, I would definitely choose Deeply Feeling Kids. I was rewatching this video from last year - a moment with my daughter at a friend’s house - and I wanted to re-share it here as a reminder, because it still feels so true. Why?
