What My Daughter Really Thinks About My Parenting

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

Have you ever worried that being "too soft" might set your kids up for failure in the harsh realities of life? Or maybe you’ve heard that using connection instead of consequences will spoil your children. Today is a special episode for me because I sit down with my oldest daughter Esme, who’s just about to leave for college, to reflect on our 18-year parenting journey. Together, we debunk the myths surrounding connective parenting and explore how it has shaped her into a self-assured, empathetic young adult.In This Episode:Misconceptions about “soft” parenting and disciplineHow empathy fosters resilience and self-esteemBenefits of letting kids learn responsibilityThe impact of no punishments on long-term behaviorEncouraging independence through connection🔗 Interested in our 1:1 Coaching?
