In this episode of the Bratbusters Parenting Podcast, parenting coach Lisa Bunnage discusses the concept of leadership parenting, emphasizing bonding and connection over discipline.

Lisa elaborates on fostering high self-esteem in children by letting them make good choices and self-discipline rather than micromanaging their behavior.

The podcast includes anecdotes, analogies, and answers to listener questions on topics such as dealing with shaming, interaction techniques, balancing play and chores, and managing guilt-driven spoiling.

The key takeaway is the importance of making children feel valued through love and connection rather than material rewards or constant correction.
