“Remember the 1000-piece puzzle of abundance you’re putting together. Take it one piece at a time.”
Part 1 (Cultivate a Growth Mindset in Your Child - 3 Key Beliefs and the Do’s and Don’ts of Parenting) of this series discussed the three crucial factors that must be considered while assessing your parenting style, tempering your reactions, and recalibrating your approach to discipline in order to achieve long-term success and overcome challenges.
In this episode, we discuss how we, as parents, handle stressful situations and how we react to potentially negative events. Our children learn how to deal with fear, change, and frustration based on what we do and say.
