The Balance Between Strict and Soft

Almost every parent asks me the same question. How do I be firm without being harsh, and soft without being permissive? It feels like you can only be one or the other. Here’s what nobody told us. Strict and soft were never the only two options, and they were never even on the same line. Firmness is about the boundary. Softness is about how you hold it. In this episode, I share what they really are, why the calm delivery is the strategic one and not the weak one, and the four moves to be firm and warm in the very same breath.
