Every parent has some version of this story. Your kid crosses a line that’s important to you. You exchange angry words, but eventually you talk it out and repair your rapport. Now you’re stuck with conflicting feelings. You don’t want to cause further disruption to your relationship with your child, but you also know their behavior isn’t likely to change without some consequence. This time, I’m sharing the experience of a Masterminder who was caught in this exact dilemma. We’ll discuss the difficult but necessary steps you can take to honor your values, communicate their importance to your children, and help them be better prepared for adulthood in the process.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why sometimes the way to step up for your kiddos means imposing consequences that neither of you is happy about.
- The long-term benefit of short-term discomfort, for your relationship with your kids and their relationship with the world.
- How vitally important followthrough is in your role as pack leader.
And much more!
