Building Structure Within Your Home that Cultivates Trust and Respect

EP:107 On this week’s episode of Thrive Like a Parent Podcast we are going to talk about the importance of setting boundaries and enforcing natural consequences for children without resorting to anger or resentment. 
 
We must set consistent, firm boundaries and natural consequences, such as chores or writing lines, to teach our children respect and responsibility. 
 
You get to decide what behaviors are and aren't acceptable in your home, and enforce boundaries for unacceptable behaviors. You must claim the driver's seat in your home. 
 
I encourage you to parent the child in front of you, not the child you fear they will become. Don’t let fear hold you back. 
 
If you hold boundaries, if you give them natural consequences, what they are going to do is actually build a stronger relationship, trusting dynamic with you, a greater bond of respect with you. And I guarantee you, they will be happier humans, because you've made a very structured life, and they know what's expected of them. And we're going to continue down that path.
 
We are their teacher, and it is okay to teach. You got this. 
 
XOXO,
Dr. B
