I want my child to make a good decision because they want it to and not because they're afraid of me.

I want to be instilling principles and values so that I can trust that my kid will go off into the world and they can make their own decisions and it's not based on I don't want to make my parent upset.

We want our children to be able to internalize all these things to make good decisions

on their own. All right, y'all. Welcome back to another episode of the Expressions So Black

Bad Podcast. I am very excited. I'm having a hard time holding in my excitement. I don't think

parenting, how to

parent and regulate yourself, how to make sure that you're parenting in a way where you're

helping your kids to grow and not hindering their growth. Because I feel like for me personally,

I don't have kids yet. And this is one of the topics that I get so much different feedback and advice on. Some people tell me to do this. Other people tell me to do this. And I really don't know what to actually be doing. And a lot of times when I talk to parents, parents don't even know what they're doing. So we have an expert here. We have an expert here that's supposed to be guiding us through these waters.
