09 Labeling our kids and their behavior

Labeling is often our way of making sense of the world. One of the things we often label is each other. Sometimes it is for encouragement or to make that person feel good about themselves. Other times it is to discourage a behavior or used as a way to “other” people. Regardless of the intent of labeling children, ourselves, and others often fall short of our goal. In this episode, I discuss the impact labels often have and what we can do instead of label.
