Do you ever wonder if putting your child's feelings first means letting go of boundaries? In this week’s episode of "Rethink Your Rules," I challenge the conventional wisdom that prioritizing emotions leads to chaos.

I’ll clear up some of the most common misconceptions about “Feelings First,” including the fact that acknowledging your child's feelings does not mean you have to fix them or take responsibility for them. Rather, this style of parenting is about creating a supportive & safe environment, which does NOT require you to agree with their point of view or fulfill illogical demands. You can allow emotions while also maintaining your boundaries and expectations.

This episode provides practical insights into responding to your child's feelings in a calm, confident way. It’s perfect for parents of neurodivergent kids…and really for anyone trying to improve their emotional intelligence.
