Are Stricter Boundaries Making Your Child Rebel?

Peace and Parenting: How to Parent without Punishments - A podcast by Michelle Kenney, M. Ed

Do boundaries and limits really matter in parenting? Have you ever wondered if the secret to a more harmonious parenting journey lies in how we set and manage boundaries with our children? Today, I tackle the often confounding topic of boundaries. I’ll unravel misconceptions about boundaries and explain that they aren't about controlling our children but rather about providing a safe space for them to release their emotions. Many parents struggle because they believe stricter boundaries equate to more obedient children, but today, I’ll share why this isn't necessarily true. This episode is packed with practical examples, including how to handle common situations like turning off the TV without resorting to punishment and the importance of not mistaking control for safety. In This Episode:Redefining the role of boundaries in parentingConnection over controlEmpathy's power in handling emotional outburstsBalancing limits and free willCooperation through understanding, not punishmentTailoring boundaries to developmental stages🔗 Interested in group or 1:1 Coaching?
