When a child acts out, we’re quick to explain it away—ADHD, anxiety, big emotions, a hard transition, sibling conflict. But what if the most harmful message we’re sending our children is that they don’t have a choice?

In this episode, parenting coach Efrat Amira explores how modern parenting unintentionally teaches children to see themselves as victims of their circumstances—and how that mindset weakens confidence, responsibility, and resilience over time.

You’ll learn how to shift from explaining behavior to empowering your child, by teaching them that they always have a choice over how they think, speak, and act. Efrat breaks down the difference between regulating the body and regulating the mind, and shows you how to coach children—step by step—out of victim thinking and into personal responsibility.

This episode is especially helpful if your child:

Blames others for their behavior

Gets overwhelmed by emotions

Refuses to cooperate or take responsibility

Feels powerless, stuck, or easily triggered

You’ll walk away with a new lens on behavior—and practical language you can use immediately with your child.
