Episode Description:

Are you torn between teaching your child to stand up for themselves and maintaining respect? It\u2019s a struggle many of us face, but what if we allowed our kids the space to practice\u2014even if they don\u2019t get it right the first time?


Today on Peace and Parenting I dive head first into a topic many parents wrestle with: Can we truly let our children stand up for themselves if we always require them to be respectful? Parenting is messy, and kids need space to make mistakes as they learn important life skills. By giving them a safe place to practice expressing themselves, especially when it\u2019s uncomfortable for us, our children can grow into empowered, confident adults.


In This Episode:

  • Kids learning to stand up for themselves
  • The balance between free will and respect
  • Why it\u2019s okay for kids to \u201cget it wrong\u201d
  • Allowing space for self-expression and mistakes
  • Parenting from a place of empathy, not control
  • How to be a safe space for your child\u2019s growth
