57: The Art of Letting Go (Without Actually Letting Go) with Amy Sargent

Have you ever wondered how to transition from managing your kids to supporting them as they grow into adults?

In this episode of the Emotionally Intelligent Parenting Podcast, I chat with Amy Sargent, SEI Coach and Executive Director of the Institute for Social and Emotional Intelligence. Amy shares how she used emotional intelligence with her older kids—owning her own feelings, creating space for their emotions, and still holding them accountable.

This conversation is packed with valuable insights for parents of both teens and tweens, as we explore how parenting roles shift and how emotional intelligence can help you become a supportive coach instead of a manager.

Tune in for practical tips on building strong relationships with your kids, cultivating empathy, and remembering that we’re not responsible for their emotions. Whether you’re parenting toddlers or preparing to launch your kids into adulthood, this episode is full of wisdom you won’t want to miss!
