Peace and Parenting: How to Parent without Punishments

How Letting Go of Control Can Improve Your Child’s Behavior


Listen Later

What happens when the desire for order and control in our lives clashes with the free-spirited nature of our children? Today, I delve into the challenges of overcoming control freak tendencies in parenting and finding a harmonious balance that respects both our needs and those of our children.


I'll share my personal journey from being a self-confessed control freak to a more mindful and connected parent. My need for a tidy environment, calm atmosphere, and perfect order often clashed with my kids' natural messiness and spirited behaviors. And this took a toll on my relationship with them and pushed me to reevaluate my parenting style.


In this Episode:

  • Balancing order with your child's autonomy
  • Overcoming control tendencies in parenting
  • Impact of perfectionism on the parent-child relationship
  • Allowing children to own their academic journey
  • Importance of connection over punishment
