87. Just Cause It Worked for You Doesn't Mean It Will Work for Them!

In today’s solo episode, I want to talk about the "my way or the highway" phenomenon and the tendency we have to think that if something worked for us it has to work for others! Sometimes this can show up in parenting, for example, if your spouse was brought up a certain way, they may want to do the same thing for your kids and you might not want to. During the episode, I share my thoughts on the issue of imposing our own views on our kids, how to talk to your kids without an ego and why you should let your kids create their own experiences.     In this episode, we cover:
