What do you do when your child is completely losing it? You can feel yourself getting frustrated and every instinct is telling you to either give in or put your foot down…
There’s another option: holding a firm boundary while still giving your child space to feel everything they’re feeling.
This is a process called Loving Limits and for this episode we are joined by Jason Seeman to help guide us on the process.
Jason is a father of two, fatherhood guide, educator and founder of Raising Fathers. Raising Fathers supports new fathers through parenting education courses, as well as running rites of passage experiences, 1:1 mentoring, and community events for Dads. Loving Limits has fundamentally changed the way Jason parents his own kids, offering a practical way to stay connected through the messy moments, without giving in to every demand.
In this episode, Jason shares:
KEY QUOTES
“Kids need to feel felt. It doesn’t matter what the gender is. They need to feel felt and held by both parents.”
“The places where they push your buttons the most are the things that you still haven’t fully sat with and made peace with in yourself.”
“How you parent your kids is how you parent yourself.”
