Your Parenting Long Game

Episode 312: Plugging an “Influence Leak” - Recognizing Your Expectations


Listen Later

As parents, we want to be able to motivate our kids to act more responsible and handle situations more effectively. And we can feel helpless and out of control when we aren’t able to make that happen.

Unfortunately, we will feel helpless and out of control because we often (unknowingly) “leak” influence by the way we think about and respond to situations. One of the most common influence leaks happens when we set unrealistic expectations and aren't even aware that we're doing that. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How setting realistic expectations increases our influence with our children

  • A simple question that will help you set expectations and handle previously-difficult situations more effectively 

  • The benefits (for us and our kids!) when we plug influence leaks
