Join the renowned Author & Parenting Expert Dr. Ishinna Sadana, as she explores the fundamental question of whether parents can truly control their children's behaviour, revealing that influence through connection is far more powerful than control through anger, threats, or punishment. The speaker demonstrates how disconnection manifests in parent-child relationships and introduces the concept of positive versus negative interactions. Practical strategies are shared for building stronger connections, including choosing battles wisely, practising emotional regulation, listening with curiosity rather than judgment, and dedicating uninterrupted playtime. The talk emphasizes that while control methods have expiration dates, connection creates lasting influence and transforms the parent-child relationship into a foundation for lifelong adult relationships.
