Could your pursuit of a "perfectly" behaved child be disrupting the peace in your home? This episode will unravel the intricate dance between setting boundaries and forging bonds of connection. As parents, we tend to focus on controlling our children's behavior and enforcing consequences when they make mistakes. However, what really matters is creating an environment where our children feel safe to make mistakes without fear. By showing empathy toward our children's behavior, we can establish a foundation of trust that is unbreakable.  Today, I have invited Shauna, one of my Instagram followers, to share how loosening the reins of strict parenting has allowed her to build more authentic relationships with her children. We will discuss how to set boundaries without resorting to punishment, but rather through the warmth of connection. You will learn how to turn homework time into a fun activity and how to handle difficult school transitions with compassion. These methods have the potential to transform challenges into opportunities for growth. 🔗 Check out my FREE Guide to Play 🔗 Interested in our 1:1 Coaching?
