What if offering your child choices isn't really giving them autonomy? Have you ever considered that the choices you present might feel manipulative? Let’s delve into the nuanced world of offering choices and explore how to empower our children genuinely and constructively.

In this episode, I unpack giving children choices, spotlighting its potential benefits and pitfalls. I illustrate how choices can sometimes come off as controlling rather than empowering. I also discuss the vital role of true autonomy in developing a child's independence and problem-solving skills.

In This Episode:

• The importance of real choices in parenting
• Examples of fake choices and their pitfalls
• Autonomy's role in childhood development
• Parental control vs. child independence
• Real-life anecdotes on flexible parenting
• Connection strategies for more meaningful choices
