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

- 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
