Very Good Enough

Too Much "Yes" | How to break the cycle of toddler overindulgence


Listen Later

We all want our kids to be happy and we all hate tantrums. But how much "yes" is good for them and when does appeasing to avoid tantrums start to damage our parent-child relationship? Weaving in lots of practical support and encouragement, Jess and Layne dig into why it feels impossible for some of us to stand up to our demanding little ones. We talk about ways our own childhoods affect our personalities and impact our parenting using examples that have come up recently in the community like:

What to do when a breastfeeding toddler is refusing to wean?

How to hold set limits and hold boundaries when I hate conflict?

How do I respond when my child scratches and bites me?

How to course correct when a child is showing signs of entitlement?

...and more :)
