Detaching from Kids’ Misbehavior with Connection & Calm Feb 03, 2021

Show notes

What is detachment?

In today’s episode, we take a look at what detachment truly is and we debunk some of the misconceptions that surround detachment.

To give you a brief overview here, here at Fresh Start Family, we believe that true detachment is when nothing that someone else says or does disturbs your sense of value & worth. This is so important in parenting because as much as we want to control things like:

our children’s behavior
the opinions of others
and many other aspects of life that are out of our control
