Why Your Kids Should Misbehave: A Catholic Parenting Truth

Catholic Mom Calm

Hot take: your kids should misbehave. I know — that's not what anyone tells you. But perfectly behaved children 100% of the time is not the goal. It never was. And if you've been stressed every time your child acts out, this episode is going to take a weight off your shoulders. In this episode, I explain why misbehavior is actually a sign of healthy development — and how to parent through it with peace. We talk about: * Why we panic when our kids misbehave (and what it triggers in us) * The developmental truth about children and behavior * How to set realistic expectations based on your child's age and stage * Parenting with peace instead of panic — even in public If you liked this episode, you'll also enjoy: The Kids Talk Too Much!
