Reframing Child Behavior

When children exhibit disrespectful behavior such as saying 'I hate you' or 'shut up,' it is crucial to reframe these actions. Rather than taking it personally, parents should understand that it stems from the child's inability to manage their feelings. By realizing that these behaviors are about the child's emotions and not a direct attack on the parent, a shift in perspective can occur, leading to more empathetic responses and avoiding personalizing the situation.
