Children Do Well If They Can: How This Simple Shift Transforms Parenting
In this episode of Lessons from the Middle, Ashley Osinski discusses the challenges of parenting, especially during the transition back to school after winter break. She emphasizes the importance of understanding children's behavior through the lens of skill-building rather than punishment. By adopting the perspective that 'children do well if they can,' parents can better support their children in developing the necessary skills to navigate their emotions and behaviors.
