Ever feel like you’re stuck between what you know is best and what your instincts tell you to do in the heat of the moment? You’re not alone! Today I am tackling a battle many parents face, choosing connection over consequences when setting limits for our kids.

Today, I talk with podcast listener Cecilia, a mom of three, as we discuss the struggles many of us face when balancing connective parenting with the pressures to revert to punishments. We talk about everything from the challenges of setting boundaries with empathy to how we can reframe our kids’ misbehavior as a moment of dysregulation, not defiance.

In This Episode:

• Reframing behavior as a moment of dysregulation
• Why punishment doesn’t foster lasting change
• Strategies for setting limits with empathy and play
• How to build connection in tough moments
• Shifting your mindset to create lasting change
