Podcast: Peace and Parenting: How to Parent without PunishmentsPublished On: Thu Mar 13 2025
Description: Are helicopter and bulldozer parenting mistakenly being labeled as gentle parenting by some? Today I uncover the myths around connective parenting and share the truth about what it really means to foster deep connections with our children.In this episode, I tackle a common misconception about gentle or connective parenting, that it's all about speaking in a soft voice and gently reasoning with your kids. But as you’ll discover, it’s so much more. Connective parenting isn't about permissive attitudes or shielding kids from life's challenges. Rather, it's about equipping them to navigate obstacles with empathy and resilience.Join me as I unpack what connective parenting really involves: prioritizing relationships, setting firm yet empathetic limits, and allowing the natural consequences of life to teach valuable lessons.In This EpisodeMisconceptions of gentle and connective parentingUsing empathy, not lectures or punishmentsLimits and consequences as teaching toolsHelicopter parenting versus resilience-buildingThe power of play and special time========🔗 Interested in group or 1:1 Coaching?
