1040: [CASE STUDY] "The Art Of Being A Caring vs. Controlling Parent"

Written By Heather Chauvin

“Control leaves no room for trust."

― Glennon Doyle

In this episode, I talk about:

  • Exploring the roots of our need to control our children's behavior or emotions, and ways we can engage our emotional intelligence so that we can instead co-create with them

  • The fight, flight, or freeze responses that happen within all of us when facing conflict and how to tune into your child's response (as well as your own!) and effectively communicate  

  • Strategies for cultivating an effective process to hold your child accountable for their actions and what this can look like (hint: talk less!)
