The ROOT of People-Pleasing: Beware Wounding Your Kids Like This!

Send us a text

You would never intentionally hurt your kids, yet there’s a high chance you’re sending this subconscious message in your parenting—one that not only wounds their sense of self, but puts immense pressure on them to keep you happy in order to feel safe and loved.

In this admittedly confronting episode, I discuss a recent conversation with my son that exemplifies parents’ natural tendency to make a major mistake. I delve into the root cause of people-pleasing and how a particular parenting approach (no doubt popular when you were young and still extremely common today) can do lifelong damage to a kid’s sweet little developing brain. I then offer an alternative perspective to strive for in order to help kids become emotionally healthy and secure adults.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

•  The unknown way you’re wounding your kids whenever you signal disappointment or disapproval
• Why making your kids responsible for YOUR feelings is so damaging to their nervous system
• A contrary belief to try on and implement if you want your kids to develop secure attachment, deep self-worth, and healthy boundaries as adults
• What your kids need to hear more than ANYTHING else
• Why hearing all this is inevitably triggering for YOU
