What does “having your child’s back” actually mean?
Because it’s not blindly defending bad behaviour.
It’s not storming into school shouting “MY CHILD WOULD NEVER.”
And it’s definitely not raising kids who think consequences don’t apply to them.
This episode is about something quieter — and far more important.
Having your child’s back means:
- keeping connection without excusing behaviour
- validating feelings without removing consequences
- staying calm, curious, and honest when they mess up
- making sure they know they’re supported, even when they’re wrong
We talk about why over-defending kids backfires, how entitlement is created, and what actually helps children grow into accountable, emotionally safe adults.
This is about the long game — so your child still comes to you when it really matters.
