Our conversation focuses on:
Why you should stop trying to fix your children’s problems
How to fully accept what we cannot control in this life
The difference between discipline and encouragement
How to create effective reflection within your children
The most common mistake people make as a parent
Why rejection leads to independence
I hope you give this a listen and look forward to hearing your thoughts!
A quick reminder to buy my first book, The Five Principles of Parenting, and write a review from wherever you order. Reviews really help to get the book noticed, and to spread the word. Please especially rate and review any books purchased on Amazon (it shockingly really, really matters!). Also, when you receive the book, snap a quick pic with it and post on social media. Share one thing you love about it and help me to get more copies into the hands of parents in your community. Tell a friend about the book, or about something you found helpful in the book. Parents look to each other for advice, and I’d love to be a part of the support you pass on to your loved ones.
