Whether your child melts down when they lose, struggles to say they’re having fun, or takes rules a little too seriously, this episode will help you parent the way they’re wired instead of fighting against it. Episode Recap: Join Wire Talk+, our VIP club for listeners (3:45) Is it okay to let my sensitive child pout in his room? (4:27) My “blue child” never says she’s having fun and it’s discouraging to me (9:55) How do I handle an overly strict rule follower? (13:30) My 9 yr old cannot bear losing - should I give him consequences for meltdowns? (17:28) You’re not going to change the way your kid is wired, but you can understand it (20:00) Scripture: Proverbs 22:6 (NIV) “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” Discussion Questions: Does my child need space or correction in emotional moments? Am I reacting to their personality, or am I training their character? Do I expect my child to respond emotionally the way I would? Where do I need to be more consistent with consequences? How can I model emotional regulation in my own responses?
