In this episode of the Emotionally Intelligent Parenting Podcast, I’m sharing a personal story from my own home - a REALLY challenging situation with my kids and a new “friend” in our neighbourhood who hasn’t been the best influence.

It started out innocently but went from dishonesty and aggressive behaviour to stealing... eek! So we recently faced some difficult moments as a family and had to figure out how to respond with both compassion and clear boundaries... not easy but necessary.

I’ll take you through how we approached the situation without resorting to punishment or blame, all while keeping the connection with our kids intact.

I know you’ll find it valuable to hear how you can guide your children through tough friendships, help them understand right from wrong, and build their emotional intelligence in the process.

If you’ve ever struggled with your child’s behaviour being influenced by others, this episode is for you. Let’s turn these moments into powerful teaching opportunities.
