When an adult acts like a child maybe it’s best to think they are. Mel Robbins of the “Let Them” theory says if we can think of an adult acting like a bigger version of a child it will help one to deal with their tantrums, silent treatments and pouts. The only difference I have with this mindset is I would make it the terrible two’s instead. Instead of treating an adult like one when they have an episode I’d reassure them and set boundaries like they were toddler. Thank you Mel Robbins because 8 and 2 are great in handling those who act like it even if they have a few gray hairs instead.
