Description

Do your children refuse to follow boundaries?

Do you think you are never being listened to?


In the first of a two part bucket emptying special, we are going to figure out the tricky issue of setting boundaries and getting our kids to actually respect them!


But here’s a spoiler: you should not feel guilty for setting healthy boundaries. As a parent, it’s your job to be the rulemaker, and your kids won’t always like or understand that. And in this episode I’m going to share 5 of the biggest reasons for non-compliance to help you understand why your child is saying no.


Then, in the next bucket emptying episode, we can explore some of the things you can start doing right away to help you deal with this.


So pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy seat, and enjoy the conversation…
