Today, we’re tackling one of the toughest challenges every parent faces: when our kids' behavior pushes us to our limits.
Those moments can catch us off guard, and our first instinct might be to correct or even control the behavior. But what if we could approach these situations with a new perspective? Sometimes, frustration arises not just from what our kids are doing, but from our expectations of what they should be doing. In this episode, we’re exploring how adjusting our expectations and expanding our "window of acceptability" can make it easier to respond calmly and parent the way we truly desire.
