Hot take: your kids should misbehave.
I know — that's not what anyone tells you. But perfectly behaved children 100% of the time is not the goal. It never was. And if you've been stressed every time your child acts out, this episode is going to take a weight off your shoulders.
In this episode, I explain why misbehavior is actually a sign of healthy development — and how to parent through it with peace.
We talk about:
* Why we panic when our kids misbehave (and what it triggers in us)
* The developmental truth about children and behavior
* How to set realistic expectations based on your child's age and stage
* Parenting with peace instead of panic — even in public
