Have you ever told your child something about them that you know to be true, but they just don't believe it themselves? They could be smart, athletic, funny, etc. But they may have something emotional happening that makes them believe otherwise. In this episode I share some advice about children that was given to me years ago, but impacts what I believe about kids to this day. Three points I make in this episode are:
- What we tell them might be true, but doesn't make it true for them
- The difference between the cognitive and emotional
- A child's view of "self" has to be developed internally
