In this episode, I'll reveal the 3 common consistency mistakes that sabotage your child's respect for you without you even realizing it. If you're tired of your child ignoring your requests and boundaries, or if you find yourself resorting to yelling and punishments to feel respected, these mistakes might be the culprit. You'll discover exactly what these consistency errors are and how to fix them so your child starts learning to respect your boundaries naturally. I'll show you how being consistent is a key component of balanced parenting that creates both strong bonds and better behavior, plus give you the specific strategies that quickly teach your child which behaviors are acceptable - all without the power struggles that exhaust most parents who've never been trained on when and how to focus on consistency.
