Control: Teach Your Human How To Human with Jessica Conquest
In this powerful and eye opening episode of Raising Families, we dive into one of the most misunderstood and deeply felt issues in parenting today: control. Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and educator Jessica Conquest joins us to explore how our desire for control over our kids, their behavior, and even ourselves often leads to disconnection, feeling overwhelmed, and emotional burnout.
Together, we unpack how screen time, shifting family dynamics, and increased societal pressure are affecting both kids and parents. Jessica offers real tools for navigating those tough parenting moments when you feel completely out of control, and explains why giving kids space to fail may be the most loving thing you can do.
From teaching emotional awareness to modeling vulnerability, this conversation is packed with insights that will help you strengthen your relationship with your kids while giving yourself a little more grace along the way.
