Latest / Get Curious, Not Furious

Go Away, I Hate You
“Go away!” “I hate you!” Not exactly the words we want to hear from our child. But what if we looked beyond the words and got curious about what’s really going on?
In this episode, we explore why children sometimes push us away when they’re struggling, what this tells us about their developing emotional capacities, and how we can respond without taking it personally.
We’ll look at how to put the relationship first, and why these moments are less about rejection and more about a child needing help with feelings they don’t yet know how to manage.
