Episode 229
So many of us spend a lot of energy trying to make our kids act and feel better. Even though it would seem that these are “long game” strategies because we’re hoping to create a better future for them, they’re actually “band aid parenting” strategies that ultimately exhaust us and negatively affect our relationship.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why we need to stop trying to “fix” our children
- What action you can take instead
- Why this does NOT mean that they’ll become less responsible or more entitled
