  • #33 How To Parent Without Power-Struggles?

    Can you imagine your family free from power struggles?

    How can you tell if you are being caught in a power struggle or if you genuinely setting boundaries?

    This episode delves into the topic of creating a power struggle-free zone in your home. 
    You will hear about three common areas of conflict between kids and parents: food, getting to shower, and screen time. Those examples will help you to understand the underlying reasons behind these boundaries, such as promoting healthy lifestyles and development, so you can effectively communicate to your children why you set those boundaries and what are the expectations from your kid.
