How Can I Handle it When My Child Complains

Posted on May 17, 2008 - Filed Under Family | Leave a Comment

Handling children who say they are having a hard time can be difficult on a parent. Read this recently asked question and my response of a new way to look at the situation.

I recently was asked a question by a parent that I think is a really common situation. I hope this new way of looking at this situation helps!

Question: My son, age 6 comes home from school every day in a very negative mood. No matter what I ask him, he says things are awful. I’ve even tried to explain how much harder kids in other countries have it. Any suggestions?
