We interrupt our usual programming for something new. Each week in August we are offering you short succinct parenting tips to help in your day-to-day parenting. We'll be back with one on one sessions in September. Enjoy these in the meantime. Thanks for being here.
Tip #1 Empathy vs Sympathy
When trying to connect with your children, feeling sympathy is not usually as effective as having empathy. We often mix these up but it’s important to understand the distinction. It’s about your role in what your child is going through and how to be the support your child needs most.
