What happens when the party is rained out or the flight is delayed? Dr. Roger Smith, speaking from a 12-hour airport delay, shares how to help your children navigate life’s inevitable disruptions. The key lies in a two-step approach: lead with compassion to validate their frustration, then move to clear communication once emotions have cooled. This episode explores how to teach children the difference between what they can control and what they must accept, avoiding the trap of emotional manipulation. Learn how to build a "trust bank" with your kids and even develop "code language" for your family to use when plans go sideways, turning every unexpected detour into a lesson in emotional maturity.
