Are you unknowingly falling into controlling patterns with your kids? Can relinquishing bedtime control to your kids transform your evenings and lead to a more harmonious family life? Today, we explore the delicate balance between control and connection in parenting.

I am joined by Carolyn, a mother of three adorable girls, as we explore her journey of shedding control and embracing relational parenting. I dig deep into Carolyn's realization of mirroring her father's authoritarian style and discuss how to pivot towards more empathy-driven interactions.

We discuss Carolyn's specific struggles with sibling rivalry, and I offer practical advice on handling these using natural consequences instead of punitive measures. I hope our conversation provides you with valuable insights and tools to reconsider your approach to parenting. Whether you're dealing with sibling rivalry, bedtime routines, or simply want to improve your family dynamics, this episode has something for you.
