Respect Isn’t A One-Way Street: Rethinking How We Teach Our Kids Respect

Is your child “talking back,” being rude, or ignoring your requests — and nothing you say seems to get through?

In this episode of Raising and Relating, we’re breaking down why traditional ideas of “respect” don’t work for young children — and what to do instead.

You’ll learn:

• What’s really going on when kids act out or seem disrespectful

• Why young children struggle with emotional regulation — and how to respond

• How to model respectful behavior so your child actually learns it

• Simple ways to set boundaries with kindness and calm, not control or fear

If you’re tired of yelling, power struggles, or feeling like the “mean mom,” this episode will give you a grounded, compassionate roadmap to teach respect in a way that strengthens your relationship — not damages it.

🎧 Tune in now to learn how to raise emotionally healthy, respectful kids — without shame, punishments, or walking on eggshells.

If this episode resonated with you and you're ready to explore your own parenting and healing in a safe, supportive space, I’d love to invite you to book a free 30-minute discovery session.
