Your child is begging, whining, or having a meltdown, and all you did was calmly say “no.” Suddenly, you’re second-guessing yourself, snapping, or giving in just to keep the peace. Sound familiar?
In this episode, parenting coach Camilla McGill explains why holding boundaries is so hard, and how to do it in a calm, clear and kind way, even when your child shouts “You’re a bad mum!” in the middle of the supermarket.
You’ll learn how to hold firm without losing your cool, while building resilience and trust in your child.
✅ Hold the boundary with warmth (without over-explaining)
✅ Don’t explain on repeat - here’s what to say instead
✅ Stay steady in the storm - even when emotions run high
Plus, hear one mum’s Coco Pops supermarket dilemma, a story about mint ice cream and regret, and a powerful coaching example that helped a child sleep better, all through consistent, kind boundaries.
