Summary

At some point, our children will encounter adult authority figures whose way of teaching, guiding, and interacting is more harmful than helpful, How do we know when the way that someone regularly interacts with our child is potentially harmful to their self-esteem, mindset, and/or mental well-being? When is it just constructive criticism and guidance versus language that is potentially detrimental? In this episode, I cover 3 main guidelines to know when it's a good idea to step in and either limit or eliminate interactions between an authority figure and your child.
