Show Notes

Step into an example of exceptional parenting on today's episode of Parents of the Year!  Or rather, learn from Andrew's epic failure this week. He recently faced a common parenting challenge – giving simple corrective feedback to one of his daughters in a way that she would listen (and, ideally, learn from). Spoiler alert: It didn't go as smoothly as he hoped. 

As Andrew grappled with his daughter's stormy exit, he questioned if there's a better way to navigate these moments or if kids simply need to tough it out. 

Effective corrective feedback is really a secret superpower in a parent's toolkit! It's the key to your child's learning and skill development. With the right feedback, children gain valuable insights into their actions, fueling continuous growth, resilience, and self-regulation. Making them tough it out is not the way to go.

Tune in to this episode as we explore the art of providing corrective feedback to children effectively. Discover how to communicate in a way that fosters understanding and connection rather than frustration and resistance.
