Listen "The Parenting Void"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textBrandon walks us through what a parent can do when they’ve seemingly tried everything: reasoning, reward systems, punishments, calm talks, and “I” statements. None of it worked because the child doesn’t believe there is a problem. Brandon explores what happens when a parent runs out of strategies, begins eliminating what isn’t working, and is left with a parenting void. But this isn’t about giving up. It’s about letting go of control and stepping into influence. He reflects on the power of modeling over manipulating and defines the importance of naming truth without blame. Brandon reminds us that parenting is not about fixing our children. It’s about becoming the person we want to be. He encourages parents to fill that parenting void by turning toward their spouse, even when they don’t agree on parenting, and working to reconnect. This episode is for every parent who feels stuck and wonders what to do when nothing seems to work.For resources, parent groups, and support, visit www.inspiredresolutionscounseling.com Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional mental health services.
