“Gentle” Parents Still Set Boundaries With Destini Davis
There’s this fear that honoring our kids’ emotions when they throw tantrums or break the rules reinforces “bad” behavior. That if we don’t use punishment… we’re just being permissive. Here’s the truth: There’s nothing “soft” about parenting with empathy. This week, parenting coach Destini Davis joins Dr. Becky for a total reframe of what it really means to be a sturdy leader. The two open up about their own parenting philosophy journeys and how they realized that building connection with our kids goes hand-in-hand with holding firm boundaries. As they answer callers’ live questions about tricky situations with their kids, they debunk outdated ideas on “shaping behavior” and share deep thoughts about what actually leads to change. Their lively conversation will give you practical strategies for setting intentional limits, tolerating your child’s frustration, embodying your authority, and-most importantly-trusting yourself in the process.

Hi. I thought I set a boundary around my child having a haircut based on the school rules and he went to piece about it. He reminded me, that Dr Becky said he should be involved in the decion making. This made me curious. I asked more questions. Turns out he wants to wait till a scar on his forehead heals before a haircut. We reached an agreement and a few days later he was ready for the haircut because he felt secure in the scar being sufficiently healed. It was an empowering experience for both of us. I'm so glad I didn't force a haircut without listening to his concerns. Tx Dr Becky❤
Hi Dr. Becky! I really enjoy learning from your podcasts. I was wondering if you have created any podcasts that focus on siblings for ages 10 and older. I have two daughters, ages 10 and 15. I have a very hard time setting boundaries with my 10 year old. This is especially with respect toward her sister, her feeling like I am always yelling at her over her sister and screen rules. I would really appreciate a podcast with older children! Thank you!
