Nourishing the Mother

NTM449: Balancing kids’ freedoms and family rules


Listen Later

How do you allow for more choice and more freedom, whilst also balancing family rules and boundaries? From sleepovers to language use, to the individual freedoms kids want as they grow, how do you hand over responsibility to your children, whilst navigating with a compass that feels safe and nurturing for you.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Holding on or handing over responsilbity to your children as they grow
  • Parenting the same or the opposite of your own personal experience
  • Bringing clarity to where your rules come from and discerning if they’re still true for you
  • Attuning to the bigger vision you have for your family
  • Realising we look to a rule to make us feel safe when we’re stressed
  • Choosing your rules mindfully so they’re more likely to be adhered to
  • Transparency when it’s challenging, so you have more space to ‘stay with it’
  • The self-checkin checklist
  • Borrowing other people’s perspectives
  • Getting clarity on what you’re willing to negotiate and what you’re not
  • Inviting in co-parents and kids to the negotiations and discussions
