The Balance between Free Will and Control

In relationships, especially with your kids, it can be difficult to balance control and free will. Today, we'll explore the complex dynamics of autonomy and connection, and how they apply to parenting. We'll question the different standards we set for children, and consider the parallels between adult relationships and conventional parenting. Have you ever had a partner who tried to control you? Imagine living in a relationship where your free will is constantly suppressed. Now, think about how that translates to parenting. I'll share my personal experiences, the challenges of allowing my child free will, and the transformative power of connective parenting. Tune in to discover why fostering unconditional love and acceptance, without resorting to control, leads to genuine, reciprocal relationships.Enjoy today’s episode?
