[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our therapist has taught us to "validate". Validate their feelings. So Kid is upset because, I dunno, "teacher hates me". You acknowledge: It must be really hard to be in a class where you feel that way". Didn't get to go to the party? "I understand you feel really disappointed". You aren't agreeing with her - you aren't saying the teacher DOES hate her. You are just acknowledging her feelings. You aren't offering 20 solutions, just validating her feelings. It really helps the kid self soothe and defuses many situations before they spiral.[/quote] What is going on with all you people seeing therapists? Why do you have children if you are nuts? [/quote]
