Listen Later

Today we have an anonymous question from a mum who's got a happy go lucky teenager, happy to coast through life, as well as a husband who is coasting through the chores with his earbuds in.

In this episode:

  • Giving kids autonomy
  • Force creates resistance
  • Perspective
  • Upside-Downside conversation
  • Connection
