In today’s episode, we’re talking about one of the most important things you can do as a parent – giving your kids more choice. I share my own experiences as a mom of five and explain why letting your kids make decisions is key to helping them become confident and capable adults. We’ll cover practical tips for implementing this in your home, from letting them choose their clothes to giving choice at the dinner table. Plus, we’ll discuss how to set clear boundaries with non-negotiables and teach them the skills they need to make good decisions.
