The Real Truth behind critical parenting with Ken Wilgus

Let’s be honest. There’s not a one of us that doesn’t often feel like the Simon Cowell of our family having to correct, instruct, redirect, and . .  . sometimes criticize. We don’t call it criticism, but so often it feels that way for us (and definitely for our kids too).    Ken Wilgus is with us today talking about the real truth on critical parents and critical kids. We dig deep into issues of boundaries and respect, both of which are the hidden gems if we’re trying to avoid this issue.  Ken is a licensed psychologist and always a fan favorite because of his practicality and willingness to lay it out there in areas we don’t love to discuss.   We also talk about the real truth behind overscheduling our kids as well as why we continue fighting parenting battles not worth fighting.    I’m so glad you’re exploring the “real truth” with us this fall, it’s always more fun when we’re all in it together!   Resources from today's show:  Dr. Kenneth Wilgus Feeding the Mouth That Bites You Our Sponsors: * Check out IXL and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.ixl.com Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
