Few moments in parenting are harder than when our kids push up against a limit. These are the moments that really test our patience, our skills and our ability to hold firm and be what our kids need, without resorting to discipline practices that we now know are not good for anyone's wellbeing.
Today's parents know more than any previous generation about the parent they don't want to be, and yet when it comes to setting and holding limits, they often feel confused, powerless and exhausted.
Research tells us that boundaries make kids feel safe, seen and secure, leading to more cooperation in the short term and better outcomes in the long term. Parenting educator Gen Muir knows that when parents lead with a style that is authoritative - both firm and loving - everyone wins. Her compassionate, practical advice will enable you to feel more confident in the difficult moments, get on the same page as your partner about what actually works to change behaviour, and maintain limits without squashing your child's spirit or impacting your relationship long-term.
While parenting today has never been more complicated, becoming confident at setting and holding boundaries is the pathway to more peace and joy in parenting, and happy, resilient kids.
