Minimum Viable Parenting

Staying consistent in parenting is not easy, especially when the child's behavior seems erratic and unpredictable. And yet, the only way to settling testing behaviors is the consistency of our response.   To stay consistent we need to remember why there is a specific expectation and what values will be broken if we do not follow through with our intention. If we break our own word, it is hard to convince the child we are worth listening to.   Although staying consistent may be hard, spotting inconsistent parenting practices is relatively easy. In this episode we are talking about three types of scenarios that inconsistent parenting fits into and how to act instead.
