Controlling behavior, consequences, and connection with your young child | Podcast Episode 311

Continuing in this end-of-year "big idea" line of thinking, one of our beloved Ninja Parenting Community members recently asked a huge, and great question: "How can I relax and enjoy our relationship more and not feel like I'm always on the edge of discipline mode or like I should have handled things differently [with my 3-year-old]?" Effectively she's asking: do I have to control my young child's behavior all the time, or is there anything else besides that? Today's episode is my response.
