You’re Aren’t Helpless to Make Things Better

Learned helplessness is the idea of learning that we are helpless to change a bad situation. This week we look at how we may have learned as children that we were helpless to make our moms happy.  We grew up feeling "not good enough" about many areas of our lives, including parenting critical teenagers.  Understanding how this "not good enough" feeling developed is the first step in feeling better about yourself and raising kids who feel good about themselves.
