Am you parenting from a place of punishment, or are you guiding your child toward autonomy, self-respect, and healthy emotional expression? In this episode, I share my insights as a M.Ed and Montessori educator on how to foster respect, emotional resilience, and healthy boundaries in children. I discuss practical strategies to prevent people-pleasing behaviors, handle challenging moments through playful connection (think pillow fights and peekaboo!), and support sensitive children by tracking emotional triggers. You’ll learn to create structured yet nurturing routines that offer stability for your child—and yourself—as you navigate parenting with self-compassion, authenticity, and curiosity.

This episode is for you if:

* You worry about raising a people-pleaser or struggle setting boundaries with your child.

* You have a sensitive, anxious, or energetic child and want actionable ways to support them.

* You're looking for playful parenting strategies to build emotional resilience.

* You want guidance on creating structured daily routines that benefit both you and your child.
