Compassionate Command: Lovingly & Confidently Steer the Ship For Your Children

Cassie Wilcox & Erica Scheifflee Season 1 Episode 9

Parenting with “compassionate command” leads to more independent and secure children AND more emotionally well parents. Maybe COMPASSION comes more easily for you while COMMAND is your partner’s comfort zone. How does the way you were parented impact where you fall on the “compassion-command spectrum” and WHY DOES IT MATTER?

***

 In this episode, Erica and Cassie discuss what it means to drive the metaphorical “ship” for your family with confidence, love, and collaboration. Many examples are given to illustrate what it looks like when either compassion or command is out of balance and how we return to alignment.
