Is my child a people-pleaser?

14 min • 3 november 2022

Something happened with my 7-year that led me to re-evaluate what I was saying to her with regards to her needs and boundaries.

I wanted to share this story with you in a quick podcast episode (it's about 10 min!). Perhaps you will be able to relate to this and readjust how you are approaching these situations.

Especially if you have an older child that likes to keep their younger siblings happy, then this episode is for you!

I mentioned the podcast episode about running your home like a company. The link to this episode is below!
