So many parents are trying to raise emotionally intelligent kids, but no one tells them how much of the work begins inside themselves. Conscious parenting is not about perfection. It is about awareness, connection, and learning to respond instead of react. But most parents are never taught what that actually looks like in real life.

In this episode, I sit down with Sammy and Cameron Millach to talk about what it really means to raise emotionally well children. We explore childhood brain development, boundaries with love, and the difference between control and connection. Sammy and Cameron bring a grounded blend of psychology and behavioral science to the conversation, helping parents understand why their kids act the way they do and what they truly need to thrive.

We also talk about the reality of modern parenting. The pressures. The technology. The overstimulation. The moments where you feel triggered because your child touches something unhealed in you. This conversation will help you understand natural consequences, gratitude, emotional regulation, and why reparenting yourself is often the key to parenting your child well.

If you want to raise kids who feel safe, seen, and emotionally equipped for the world ahead, this episode gives you the clarity, compassion, and practical tools to get there.
