Listen "Compassionate Command: Lovingly & Confidently Steer the Ship For Your Children"
Episode Synopsis
Parenting with “compassionate command” leads to more independent and secure children AND more emotionally well parents. Maybe COMPASSION comes more easily for you while COMMAND is your partner’s comfort zone. How does the way you were parented impact where you fall on the “compassion-command spectrum” and WHY DOES IT MATTER?*** In this episode, Erica and Cassie discuss what it means to drive the metaphorical “ship” for your family with confidence, love, and collaboration. Many examples are given to illustrate what it looks like when either compassion or command is out of balance and how we return to alignment. Do you have an example, question, or parenting struggle related to this topic? WE INVITE YOU TO EMAIL US! “Part Two” of this conversation will be all about supporting you - the listener. We will unpack the possible reasons for parent-child relationship breakdowns and discuss steps for moving forward. Rest assured, we are ALL on this parenting journey…an ongoing experience of self-discovery and growth. This is your opportunity to join in tandem with Erica and Cassie to achieve optimal wellbeing for yourself and your family. **Music credits**Uppbeat (free for Creators!); https://uppbeat.io/t/hartzmann/clear-sky; License code: GQGN7ICA9D8IDOUT
