In this episode, Tanya and I discuss how we can empower our children if we are willing to de-condition some of our beliefs about parenting and how children "should" behave.  

We discuss parenting from survival vs. thriving and how it’s never too late to empower ourselves and our children.  It’s never too late to change your identity within these various roles.   

In this episode we discuss:

• Allowing our children to have their own experiences vs. forcing 
• How our intention to empower our children often comes with conditions
• When we aren’t resourced as parents, we can’t give what we don’t have (and if this is where you are, PLEASE give yourself some grace)
• All the expectations we put on our children
• Learning how to say no is healthy

Questions you can ask yourself when you think about how you want to parent and empower your children:

• What are your hell yeses and hell nos?
• What are your defaults?  Are you saying yes to things you don’t want to?
• How can I ask my children more questions versus telling them what I think?
• Is my child’s safety or health at risk in this moment (could they actually die?)
