In this podcast episode, we tackle the thing many of us do, but aren’t even aware of. Allowing our fear and anxiety to take the wheel when we’re parenting. It would be easy to call this helicopter parenting, but it is so much more. This “parenting through fear” is driven by our anxiety and fear that something bad will happen if we leave our kids to their own devices or if they make a wrong choice. But there are things we can do to nip this parenting bad habit in the bud. We share 3 easy ways to stop parenting through fear and start positive parenting with confidence!
