Episode 211: How to Make Sure YOU Are In Charge, NOT Your Child’s Emotions

Your Parenting Long Game - Un pódcast de Rachel Bailey

If we’re being honest, how often do we change our plans or our boundaries because we’re trying to avoid our children’s big emotions and reactions? We may clean up after them instead of asking them to do it… or give them extra time on screens or with a friend instead of enforcing a clear end time… because we want to avoid the inevitable big reaction when we do set that firm boundary. Unfortunately, letting our children’s emotions lead our home isn’t healthy for us or for them. In this episode, learn why children need us to be firm leaders and how we can face their big reactions with confidence (and without getting triggered).
