Podcast Episode 317: What to Do When Your Kid Says “I Hate You!”

If you’ve ever had your kid look you dead in the eye and say “I hate you,” and thought, What did I do wrong?—don’t panic! It’s just another Thursday in the life of a parent, and believe me, you’re not alone. The good news is that while it feels like a punch to the gut, those words are actually an opportunity to teach your child conflict resolution and emotional intelligence. 

Yep.

Instead of losing your mind, take a deep breath and remember: it’s not the end of the world, it’s just parenthood being… well, messy. The key is staying calm, using your best parenting strategies, and realizing that these moments are actually teachable.

In this podcast episode, we’re unpacking why kids throw emotional grenades at us (spoiler: it’s not because they actually hate us), how you can stay cool when those words land like a slap to the face, and how to respond without resorting to yelling, slamming doors, or planning a solo getaway to a desert island (though, we totally get the temptation). Your kid needs something—food, attention, or maybe just a few minutes away from being a walking, talking tornado.

Listen and you’ll get parenting strategies that’ll help you and your kid grow instead of getting stuck in the drama! So, whether you’re a seasoned pro or a first-time survivor, these strategies will help you keep your cool and build stronger connections with your teen. Because spoiler: they don’t actually hate you. They just need a little guidance—and maybe some food.

In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn:

  • What your kid is really saying when they say “I hate you” 
  • 3 things you can do after an outburst to build essential skills like emotional intelligence and empathy
  • Why we should strive to create an environment where children feel safe expressing their emotions. 
  • Repairing relationships involves acknowledging one’s own mistakes.
  • Why understanding your kid’s perspective creates better communication.

How to Boost Kids Self Esteem

“I can’t do it!

My gosh, there is nothing that hurts me more than hearing my kids say that. It’s not the give-up fast “can’t do it”.

Rather its said after comparing themselves with everyone else around them and thinking they suck.

I want to cry.

I want to hug my child, to hold her, but she pulls away.

No matter what I say.

No matter what I tell her.

She doesn’t believe me. I am completely and utterly wrong. Because I’m not there and I don’t see the other kids.

Meanwhile, I know that she’s being too hard on herself.

Travel Snacks for Kids

Picture this: You’re on an airplane somewhere over Texas. Your kids are happy as can be until one tells you that she is hungry. Your toddler son grunts in agreement. The problem is, you have no food on you. Suddently, your once happy children transform into screaming, “hangry” demons. You begrudgingly hand over $8 to the flight attendant who gives you a box of crackers, raisins, and cheese.

I’ve learned that if my kids are eating, they’re happy. A little bit of hunger can push a bored child over the edge. While traveling, it is very difficult to find healthy and portable kid food. Especially items not loaded with sugar. I’ve found that sugar crashes are often even worse than a little bit of the “hangries.”
