Ep. #99: Who's Driving the Car?


I want to share a metaphor with you today that is helpful for adults and school-aged kids alike.

To be clear, I didn't come up with this metaphor. You may have heard it before. But it can be such a helpful tool, I just had to give it an episode, a place to live on this podcast.

This one is all about allowing your emotions, and honoring your emotions, but not being dominated by them.

So if your child - or you for that matter - tends to blow up when they get angry or tries to be tough and hold it together when they're sad or hurt, this one's for you.
