#144 In this episode, Lisa discusses guilt around holding boundaries as a parent. She covers the difference between pleaser parenting and authority-style parenting in comparison to calm leadership, how to be taken seriously as a parent, her demeanor during discipline, why parents should have boundaries for their children, why discipline is kindness, what age she would begin having boundaries for kids, and the importance of fun as a parent. 

Lastly, Lisa addresses seven listener questions, exploring how to choose effective consequences for kids, the best way to handle a 3-year-old testing boundaries, how to respond when a toddler becomes demanding, strategies for when a 19-month-old resists face washing or teeth brushing, tips for getting a 3-year-old to follow instructions, whether it is appropriate to use chores as consequences, and how to determine what qualifies as bad behavior from a 3-year-old.
