Pack Leadership: Real Families, Real Change

Mastermind Parenting Podcast

Emotionally immature parents set us up for lots of challenges in our own role as family pack leaders. One of the most difficult ways that shows up is when our actual kiddos act in ways that echo behavior we endured from emotionally immature grown-ups. This week I invite you to listen in on some coaching I did with two of my amazing Masterminders. They’re making huge strides recognizing the behavior that’s triggering their instinctive responses, and using their pack leadership skills to break the cycle of blame and disappointment.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why so much of what we think of as “bad” behavior comes down to our own unrealistic expectations for our kids.
• How building your pack leadership can help you be more conscious of the skills your kids haven’t developed yet, and provide the guidance and certainty they need to learn them.
• The ways your own upbringing influences those expectations, and how understanding the connection can help you lead with empathy rather than judgment.

And much more!
