Episode 93

Many parents say they believe in respectful parenting strategies, but they worry — or their friends or family members warn them — that these strategies will handicap children in the future.

After all, not everyone will treat them with respect, and they need to be prepared for a harsh world out there! 

In this episode, you will learn: 

• Why respectful parenting is not the same thing as permissive parenting (and why permissive parenting is actually disrespectful!) 
• Why respectful parenting strategies foster more resilience, not less
• Action you can take to set your children up for success, in even the most challenging environments… while still treating them with respect.
