Teaching kids to disagree helps them develop skills they need and provides tips on how we can model behavior in
Ever found yourself struggling to have a civil conversation with someone who holds a different opinion? Imagine the challenge our kids face in this age of social media. In this episode of Rewired Radio, host Erica Spiegelman sits down with Dr. Michael Wetter to tackle the tough topic of teaching children how to disagree respectfully. Dr.
Wetter, author of 'What To Do When Your Kid Needs an Entitlement Intervention', dives into why this skill is crucial for kids' development and how parents can model it effectively. Dr. Wetter explains that teaching kids to disagree isn't just about avoiding arguments—it's about equipping them with the tools they need to navigate a world full of differing opinions.
He highlights how entitlement can sneak into our children's lives, not just through wealth but as an attitude that can develop at any income level. And let's face it, social media isn't helping. It often amplifies entitlement and fosters unrealistic comparisons. But don't worry, Dr. Wetter offers practical advice for parents. He suggests that the key to teaching kids how to disagree starts with us.
By modeling good behavior and being mindful of our reactions, we can show our children how to handle disagreements gracefully. He also touches on the importance of self-care for parents—using the airplane oxygen mask analogy—reminding us that we need to take care of ourselves first to better support our kids. This episode is packed with tips and insights on starting an entitlement intervention, reframing our thinking, and ultimately helping our children grow into resilient and compassionate adults.
Whether you're a parent looking to improve your child's social skills or someone interested in the broader impacts of entitlement and social media, this conversation is a must-listen.
