Parenting & Child Deve.. Behavior & Discipline

I want my kids to be respectful—but I don’t want them to grow up as people-pleasers.

Has anyone else struggled with finding that balance between teaching kindness and teaching boundaries? How do you encourage respect while still helping your child speak up, say no, and stay confident in their own voice?

I’d really love to hear your experiences, tips, or what worked in your family.
