The Self-Doubt That's Sabotaging Your Parenting (And How to Fix It)
Description
✨
Want to feel more in control with your parenting in just 1 day? Join my Confident Parenting Workshop on October 9th and learn 5 quick strategies you can use immediately: https://www.drlindsayemmerson.com/liveworkshop
In this episode, we’ll explore pendulum parenting—what happens when you swing from a permissive childhood to overly strict parenting. You’ll learn how to set healthy boundaries without guilt, provide structure with warmth, and balance firmness with kindness. I’ll also show you how to stop second-guessing yourself and parent with confidence while breaking generational cycles.
New to my podcast? I’m Dr. Lindsay Emmerson, a clinical psychologist and Mom of 4, and I help parents find that sweet spot between support and structure that psychology research tells us is best for families now and best for our kids in the future.
