#983 Man or Bear?

Judgement & criticism, punishing, provoking, and trying to “fix” a child—none of these are a parent’s job. They only serve to drive a wedge in relationships. Our job is to love our children. To set limits and have expectations—yes!—but to do so kindly. 



In this episode:
Shifting the paradigm
Compassion and empathy
Emotions go up, intelligence goes down
The problem with judgement
Why kindness is the answer

Links:
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, by Stephen R Covey
I don’t need Fixing! I need Guiding and Loving – Happy Families
Why Our Kids Need Us to Set Limits – Happy Families
