Beyond Control: Rethinking the Limits We Set for Children

In this episode, licensed therapist Emily Learing explores why caregivers often default to "no" and how this habit can hinder a child's confidence and autonomy. You will learn to distinguish between genuine safety concerns and the desire for control, while discovering practical ways to replace restrictions with a "curious" approach. By allowing children to experience natural consequences, you can help them develop into independent decision-makers rather than just compliant followers.
