Let’s face it. Embarrassment is a big part of growing up.

Embarrassment can impact kids in many ways. It can be worry over something that could happen, like trying a new outfit and fearing a classmate. Or it can be shame

No matter the shape of the embarrassment, it can really weigh on kids. And it can make its way home to you, the parent.

On this episode of Parenting Behavior, host Dr. Andy Kahn guides listeners through how to help young children deal with embarrassment and strategies for getting ahead of it.
