Is there such a thing as too much EMPATHY?!?

Can empathy ever become too much of a good thing in parenting?  In this episode, we discuss the delicate balance of empathy in parenting, exploring the fine line between understanding and overextension. Joined by Ariela, a devoted mom, we delve in a heartfelt coaching session and unravel the complexities of managing our own emotions while supporting our children's emotional growth.  Discover the strategies for maintaining healthy boundaries and fostering emotional intelligence without losing yourself in the process. Tune in to gain insights on nurturing empathy in a way that strengthens rather than exhausts. ------------------------------------------------- About The Jai Institute for Parenting: At The Jai Institute for Parenting, we're deeply committed to reshaping the parenting landscape by educating parents on how to nurture emotionally healthy children, without sacrificing the integrity of limits, boundaries, and values.
