Many people confuse “respectful parenting” with permissive parenting, thinking that respectful parents give into the whims of their children to make them feel good.

But caving to our kids’ feelings and reactions is not respectful…to them or to us. Believe it or not, firm boundaries are a hallmark of respect-based parenting. And firm boundaries are what our children with big emotions really need.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What firm parenting boundaries look like

• Reasons why setting limits can be uncomfortable for us (and how to deal with the discomfort)

• How to respond to our children’s big emotions respectfully
