Another case study of a yelling dad, and a 12-year-old with low self-esteem.
A family came to me where one parent tended to get upset and yell, while the other was quieter. Their 12-year-old son struggled when his dad got upset, often shutting down. Sensitive kids can either react defensively or withdraw inwardly in such situations.
The parents were concerned about their son's self-esteem. We helped both parents figure out how to calm themselves and helped Bill understand his son better. By the end, Bill, the dad, said, "I'm more patient now. I listen better and focus on the good in my son." As a result, his son started opening up more and became more trusting and comfortable with his dad than ever before.
