Podcast: Peace and Parenting: How to Parent without Punishments
Published On: Tue Nov 03 2026
Description: When was the last time your child got to just be? Not on the way to something. Not being moved along to the next thing. Not being asked to hurry up, finish up, or catch up. Just being, at their own pace. If you had to think hard about that, you are not a bad parent. You are living the exact life the rest of us are living. Fast, full, packed, with a next thing that is always a little behind.We rush them into reading, into grades, into sports, into being ready before they actually are, and then we get frustrated when they can’t keep up. There is a name for it: the hurried child, and once you see it, you can’t unsee it. In this episode, I share the years our life was a conveyor belt of “hurry,” why there is no prize for being early, and the three practices to unhurry your home, whether your kid is two or seventeen.Interested in our Coaching Certification program?
