I have talked about this a LOT on the show and I’ll no doubt talk about it again because it is so important. If we hope to be able to lead, guide and influence our kids and meet their needs, we simply cannot afford to be parenting from FEAR. Why? Because when we are fearful, we lose our ability to access the very skills we need - to get the clarity to help us work out what to do in the situation we are in. In this episode I share an example which explains exactly what I mean. Don’t miss this one, you will be able to apply it to so many situations in your life as a parent.

I have just finished reading Untamed by Glennon Doyle, and when I finished the chapter titled “Poems”, I just knew that I had to share it on the show. She speaks from her heart and shares with her readers just how she felt about the mistake she had made by giving her son a cell phone at the age he was. She is not alone. Many parents are finding themselves in this situation just wishing they could turn the clock back and do it differently. Is it too late? Never. Is it easy to make the changes you know you need to make and your child needs you to make? No. Is it worth it? Every step of the way. In the episode I share with you Glennon did, what I do and what I recommend all my clients do.
