The Parenting Trap: When Love Turns Into Control

from Parenting & You With Dr. Shefali

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Shefali explores the subtle but powerful trap many parents fall into: emotional enmeshment and codependency. From being there every step of the way since infancy, we often struggle to let go and allow our children to experience life on their own terms. This need to hold on can create chaos, stifle growth, and damage connection. Dr. Shefali offers a compassionate guide to recognizing these patterns and creating space for our children to evolve with autonomy and strength. If you would like to be a guest on this podcast and receive parenting advice from Dr. Shefali,   please go to www.drshefali.com/podcast.
