Stop trying to reason and rationalize with your child!

Have you ever tried to explain to your child why something they did wasn't a good idea? We've all done it.  But here's the problem... kids aren't rational until about 12 or 13, so you're wasting your time explaining things rationally to them.   Kids are emotional and here-and-now.  So to effectively communicate with them, you have to speak to their feelings and emotions.  In this episode, Dr. Brenna tells you how that works.
