We have brought back a Beyond the Bump favourite, Gen Muir (parenting coach, social worker and mum to 4 boys) to help us out with a personal parenting pickle. How do you raise children with BIG personalities without dulling their sparkle? We discuss…

Gen dives into how our own childhood may be triggered by our children
Introverted vs extroverted personalities and how they may exist within a family
How do we set a firm boundary even when their big personality rebels against it?
Using communication strategies to help unpack your child’s feelings or behaviours
Catering to the individual personalities and needs of your family so that we can connect with less resentment
When a behaviour is actually a call for help
Have we confused caring about our kids' feelings with thinking we are responsible for fixing them?
The importance of being kind to yourself as a self-regulation tool
