I cover a lot of ground in this episode because I think one of the leading causes of parenting exhaustion and overwhelm is that we are in the habit of doing too much for our children. Whether it's little things like unloading backpacks or the bigger things like developing independent play skills and tools for emotional regulation.It's unintentional, but it snowballs before we realize it and suddenly you find yourself doing a lot more than you need to be. As a result you are exhausted and your child isn't building some essential life skills.In this episode I'm focussing in on the importance of building in time for developing child responsibilities (chores) and some of the misconceptions people might have around how long these types of skills take to build, when things become habits and how our background and experience plays a role in development.Ready to learn how building social emotional skills will make your everyday parenting easier.
