I don’t know how to describe this episode other than to say it is filled with several profound and practical insights and scripts that will change your family. It includes two phrases that work 99% of the time to de-escalate and discipline a defiant child…but by the end of the story, we discover he wasn’t really defiant, just overwhelmed. Like most of us as parents.

How should you talk to your kids about their diagnosis or struggles? How can we do this in a positive, constructive way without shame, negativity, or singling them out? I want to give you a framework that builds your kids’ confidence and gives them practical tools to overcome weaknesses. This is very important so please share.
