Phases - A Parenting podcast with Dr Courtney

Dr. Courtney Tolinski and her husband, Scott, talk about common phrases that kids often say and break down what's likely happening underneath the surface for our kids. We talk about:
  • "I hate school."  
  • "You're so mean!"
  • "I can't do it." 
  • "I don't care." 
  • "Leave me alone." 
  • "I didn't do it!"
  • "Nobody likes me." 
We share helpful ways to respond to these phrases - as well as what not to do - to help you feel confident the next time your child says something they may not really mean.
