Ep. #19 - What's Allowed or the Right Thing to Say or Do in Parenting Your Child

On today’s show, Kelly is talking about four things that are absolutely allowed and good for you to do as a parent.

Two Disclaimers:

1. She operates from a foundation of Faith and a baseline of purposeful parenting.

   1. God made us unique

   2. God created us for a purpose

2. She is playing a long game.

What is Allowable in Parenting?

1. Redefine success.

   1. It can change minute by minute.

   2. There’s no bottom line.

2. Let your child experience upset/discomfort/awkwardness.

   1. There is not a single human who does not experience these things.

   2. Parent in a way that gives your child exposure to these experiences.

3. Hold boundaries and discipline your kids.

   1. Be as gentle as possible to get the desired behavior.

   2. Sometimes parents have to be firm.

   3. Motivate positively if possible.

   4. Change tactics to fit each specific child at each specific age.

   5. Gentle parenting is not pushover or “put-off” parenting.

   6. Never give your child a choice on their punishment: You decide.

   7. Physically remove your child from a situation if necessary.

4. You can get support.

   1. Get support early and often.

   2. Be open to getting support in different ways.

Parenting doesn’t have to feel good or look perfect to be done correctly.
