Are you feeling overwhelmed by the constant need to control your child's behavior, only to find it leads to more frustration and distance? That it isn’t making anything better? You're not alone. Welcome to episode 288 of the Beautifully Complex podcast, where host Penny Williams, a parenting coach and author, dives into the core of these common parenting pitfalls.

In this enlightening episode, Penny unravels the five compelling reasons why letting go of control can be the key to your child's growth, and to your peace of mind.

  • Practical strategies to encourage your child's critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
  • Ways to promote your child's autonomy to boost confidence, motivation, and self-esteem.
