Episode 95: How to Handle Your Kid Saying ‘I Hate You’ with special guest, Sarah’s teenage daughter

In this episode, we’re answering how to handle when your child says ‘I hate you’.

Of course, when we’re on the receiving end of this, it can feel painful to hear, so how do we navigate it and what can we do about it?

This episode is inspired by my daughter, Maxine, who suggested I do this topic and share it with you. In fact, she joins me in the second half of the episode to share her perspective and what she wants parents to know.

We cover:

• [1:30] Responding with ‘calm’

• [2:40] Reminding yourself what you’re seeing is the “fight”
• [4:30] How to respond to the feeling that’s driving the behavior
• [8:00] What to do when this is a trigger for you
• [11:20] Knowing that you’re not alone
• [12:35] What my daughter Maxine thinks parents should know about this
• [15:20] The kind of reaction parents should have
• [17:10] How to not take offense
