The Works of Wonder Podcast

This week on the podcast, Dr. Long explores three foundational concepts that can significantly impact a child’s long-term success: task completion, permission seeking, and viewing behavior through a skill-based lens.She discusses why helping children learn to follow through on responsibilities builds confidence, competence, and the ability to function successfully in everyday life.Through both clinical insight and practical examples, Dr. Long explains the importance of teaching children to seek guidance before making major decisions, helping them develop communication skills and healthy independence.She also challenges parents to look beyond frustrating behaviors and ask what skill may be missing, reminding us that many struggles are not a reflection of character but opportunities for growth and teaching.This episode encourages parents to focus less on controlling behavior and more on building the skills their children need to become capable adults.Don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast so that you don’t miss an episode!Be sure to pick up your copy of Dr. Long’s book, Beyond Words: The Art of Effectively Parenting Your Children.
