Ann Kaplan: Parenting Can Be Hard, But it Doesn’t Have to Be

Episode 27 Published 3 years, 4 months ago

Description

In this episode, Shellee and Ann discuss:

The cornerstones of effective parenting
The best time to start planning for college
Disentangling yourself from your child
Creating a safe space for your child to talk

Key Takeaways:

Keeping boundaries and leadership can be more effectively achieved through authoritative parenting styles - children need their parents to be leaders and be the grown-ups while also feeling connected and safe and being cared for.
It's a lot to process what the college list looks like so make sure you are there to support your children. It’s never too late to get involved with your kids.
Take the time to disentangle yourself from your children while they try to figure out how to deal with the challenges that they have and fix their brokenness. It is not your job as a parent to fix your kids.
Kids find it hard to say no to adults or their parents, and if we don't do everything we can on our end to create a safe space for them to discuss, they will just keep saying yes when they don't feel the motivation or the drive that they're expressing.
