#31: “Minisode” - Cheating Your Way To Being The Parent You Want To Be
Becoming the parent we want to be can seem daunting when we’re learning a new way of thinking or feeling or acting (or all three). Learning to parent without fear, remembering to acknowledge their feelings, to listen to their opinions, to negotiate, to hold back on our advice and our instinct to jump in and fix things for them…it can be extremely difficult for some of us. Just remembering what to do or say in the moment can be confusing and cause us just to give up and default to our “old ways”.
I don’t want that for you. Listen in to this unscheduled “minisode” and download the cheat sheet I’ve designed to help you parent the way you really want to (and can!)
