In this episode, I'm joined by Luanne Rae, a registered psychiatric nurse, therapist, and behavioral consultant for children with a thriving private practice. We dive into why today's parents are overwhelmed with conflicting advice and how finding the balance between "jellyfish" and "brick wall" parenting is crucial for raising confident children.
Luanne shares her expertise on why children are desperately seeking leadership from their parents in today's confusing world. We'll walk you through:
✅ Why "backbone parenting" provides the structure children need while avoiding authoritarian approaches
✅ How overlooking basics like sleep and screen time can lead to misdiagnosed behavioral issues
✅ The importance of assigning age-appropriate chores to build a child's sense of value and purpose
✅ Why presenting a united parenting front is essential for a child's security
✅ How the modern parenting "village" has disappeared and what we can do about it
Whether you're confused by contradictory parenting advice on social media, wondering if your child's behavior indicates ADHD, or simply trying to find your confidence as a parent, this episode offers practical wisdom that cuts through the noise.
🔔 Remember: This isn't about perfect parenting—it's about giving yourself grace while maintaining enough structure that your children feel secure in your leadership.
🔔 Luanne is also launching her upcoming "Practical Positive Parenting" course on May 16th for parents seeking to reconnect with their parenting instincts.
