Are Your Relatives Ruining Your Parenting Efforts?

Peace and Parenting: How to Parent without Punishments

What should you do when Grandma threatens to punish your kids during family gatherings? How can we balance the need for extended family connections with our desire to parent consciously? In today’s episode, I explore the delicate art of navigating family dynamics during the holidays—or at any time—while staying true to our ideals of connected parenting.

I’ll discuss how to handle well-meaning grandparents who bribe with cookies and how to manage our own expectations about family members' behavior. I assure you that one inconsistent influence won’t harm your children if the primary relationship is strong and secure. So, let's talk about the importance of flexibility, setting boundaries, and how sometimes, letting go of control can lead to deeper connections.

In this Episode:

• The impact of relatives on our children
• Differences in parenting styles within families
• The importance of one stable, secure relationship
• Balancing flexibility with setting boundaries
• Managing expectations of extended family members
