"We are
certain to make mistakes, but we can recover. It is how we handle
our mistakes
that makes the difference." This is such a great rule-of-thumb
from the Child-Parent Relationship Therapy training that is the
curriculum in my In-Home Play Therapy program. In this episode I
talk about how if your relationship with your kids is broken
somehow, that you need to fix it. When you do, you are modeling for
your kids how to handle these situations. And finally, this rule of
thumb teaches our kids ownership of their behavior. - The path to
calm, confident, and in-control parenting start now!
