Your Parenting Long Game

Episode 353: Why Your Child Doesn't Listen When You're Being Nice (and Why "Mean" Isn't the Answer Either)


Listen Later

Having a strong relationship with our kids is a huge priority for many of us. So when we're setting limits or addressing our kids' big emotions, we usually approach them in a nice (or what we think is "respectful") way. Unfortunately, many kids won't listen – or feel confident – when we're being so nice. So how can we raise kids who follow limits and can handle hard feelings… without ruining our relationship?

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • What it really means to "respect" your children

  • One question you can ask yourself when you're struggling to influence your children

  • What simple quality leads to long-term security and healthier self-esteem for your kids (and less guilt for you)
