Bedtime, bathtime, and homework become very sticky places at times between us and our children. We often struggle here where maybe we don’t need to. Isn’t the goal to have self-sufficient kids who know how to take care of themselves?

When we place emphasis on succeeding in sports or activities are we doing our child a disservice? Isn’t the point of sports and extracurricular activities to have fun and enjoy? What about school?

Sometimes when our kids struggle we blame ourselves and hold ourselves accountable. We believe it’s our fault especially when there are big ugly feelings. Can we instead be present and grounded in those feelings and bear witness to help them come through and help them know those big ugly feelings are totally normal? This builds grit and emotional regulation.    Today’s episode is sponsored by Tosi Snacks.

Gentle parenting or conscious parenting if done right does not create children who are “snowflakes”. What is a snowflake anyway and how can we both come to our kids with kindness and avoid creating adults who cannot withstand upsetting and hard moments in life? Could our overparenting be hindering us, and what about underparenting? Goodness, there’s too much to discuss.    Today’s episode is sponsored by Tosi Snacks.
