259. BTS: How do I know if I'm giving in too much and becoming permissive?
Description
Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg and I talk about...
- A quick breakdown of Baumrind’s 4 parenting styles: Authoritative, Authoritarian, Permissive, and Neglectful.
- If you want to learn more, check out episode 39 where we dive deeper into parenting styles.
- How to use “high love and high limits” as your compass for helping you know how to raise healthy kids.
- Why the pattern so many parents find themselves in is:
authoritative ➡️ permissive ➡️ authoritarian (and how to break this cycle!)
- Knowing the difference between being permissive and making a conscious and intentional choice not to pick this battle.
- The subtle shift in how you frame an intentional pivot to your child so your actions are still authoritative when you are “giving in.”
- How to change your mind without teaching your child that they can get you to cave and that your limits are unreliable.
- When your child refuses to take a bath, brush their teeth, wants more water after bedtime, and asks for candy before breakfast - how to be authoritative in all of these situations.
