Your Kids Aren't Manipulating You... Busting The "Manipulation" Myth
Season 1
Episode 124
Published 2 years, 9 months ago
Description
I frequently hear from parents something along the line of "My kid is so manipulative!" I'd like to challenge the notion that kids are manipulating parents and others around them and give you a new perspective and re-frame for you what exactly kids are doing that parents interpret as being manipulative.
In this episode of the podcast, I discuss the following topics:
- The concept of abstract reasoning
- Organic, natural cause of "manipulation"
- Kids don't have alternatives when they are stuck in a pattern of behavior
