On today’s episode of Real World Peaceful Parenting, Lisa Smith is back with part two of the Boundaries Workshop series. This time, we’re diving into what happens after you set and enforce a limit — the inevitable pushback from your child.

Spoiler: that pushback? It’s not a problem — it’s a sign you’re doing something right.
