    166. Is focusing on kids' feelings making things worse? Part 1

    Today on Overpowering Emotions I decided to recast a two-part series from Parents of the Year where Andrew and I talked about how an overemphasis on children’s feelings might be doing more harm than good. This is part 1. While it’s crucial to acknowledge and respect our kids' feelings, constantly focusing on their emotional states can inadvertently lead to dependency and a lack of resilience. Join us as we unpack the potential pitfalls of emotion-centric parenting in part one of this series and discuss why stepping back and letting kids navigate their feelings independently might be the key to raising more capable, confident adults.
