Sustainable Parenting | The kind and firm solution for resilient kids and dependable calm.

57. How to Be Both Kind and Firm With Kids | Jane Nelsen


Listen Later

Struggling to find the right way to guide your kids?

Join us for an inspiring conversation with parenting expert Jane Nelsen as we uncover the secrets of positive discipline! ✨ She’ll share gentle guidance on finding the balance between kind and firm parenting, and why parenting without yelling creates deeper connection and cooperation.

Over the next three weeks, Jane will walk us through her most effective positive parenting strategies for raising confident kids who feel capable, respected, and resilient.

Together, we’ll explore the wisdom of Alfred Adler and Rudolf Dreikurs to understand how children grow best. Sometimes, being too permissive can accidentally spoil rather than strengthen them—but as Jane reminds us, punishment isn’t the answer either. What truly works is sustainable parenting: guidance that builds skills while keeping relationships strong.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISHED LISTENING, YOU'LL KNOW:

  • Why gentle discipline creates long-term growth over the quick fix of punishment or permissiveness.
  • Key phrases that help you get kids to listen without nagging or yelling.
  • How to guide your child’s behavior in ways that prevent rebellion, retreat, or revenge.

This is your invitation into the world of calm confident parenting—where kindness and firmness work hand in hand.
