In today’s episode, Caroline Holzberger gets real about the parenting challenges of our time, especially when it comes to what kids can emotionally and mentally handle. Spoiler: They’re probably tougher than you think, but still need your guidance! Caroline shares personal stories, some laughs, and wisdom on why setting boundaries, teaching patience, and building trust are essential for raising resilient kids.
Key Takeaways:
