When the same parenting struggles keep happening over and over... how do you stop reacting in the moment and start changing the pattern?
In this episode of That’s Good Parenting, Dori Durbin talks with parenting consultant, educator, author, and podcast host Sue Donnellan about stepping back from the daily parenting stress and looking at the bigger picture: the adult your child is becoming.
With more than 25 years of experience studying child behavior, working with families, and raising four children of her own, Sue brings a practical perspective on helping kids develop responsibility, confidence, and independence.
Together, Dori and Sue explore:
• Moving from reactive to proactive parenting
• Knowing when to step in—and when to let kids problem-solve
• Giving kids a voice while maintaining healthy boundaries
• Parenting different personalities differently
• Letting go of unnecessary control
• Recognizing patterns behind stressful moments
You don’t have to solve every parenting problem in the moment. Sometimes stepping back, noticing the pattern, and changing your approach can help both you and your child move forward.
