Kids Today Are More Depressed Than They Were During The Great Depression. Here's Why. Things that matter. Pass 'em on.
Allow your child to make mistakes. We all make them. But make them take responsibility for their actions. “I’m really sorry, this is such a bummer, but sometimes we mess up because we can’t be perfect all the time. Let’s think about what you can do about it”

It’s hard to have your kid be MAD at you! However, it is actually LOVING them by holding them accountable. Always start these tough conversations by saying: “What do you think about what happened?”
