Parenting with Structure & Flexibility

Here on the #8 ranked stress podcast,  I partner with parents to keep an eye on the family's stress levels. This week we're talking about how to give kids a sense of control when we ask them to do something. Because we're trying to keep them safe and help them grow, we often give kids a lot of instructions. When kids feel like they don't have a lot of control they push back and conflict results. Today I share some ideas on how to foster a balance of structure (things you control) and flexibility (things your kids can control) in your interactions with your kids.
