Parenting Myths

I think we are lead to believe lies -  little cultural messages that we imbibe as parents, that shape us.

 

If we want to raise children who thrive, who have high self-esteem and are emotionally intelligent, we need to be countercultural and go against the cultural grain.

 

So here goes for some truth-busting today.

David Baker on Tantrums, "no" and staying gentle

Would you love to stay gentle at the same times as keeping clear boundaries in place? I'm chatting with a dad this week who 'walks the walk' - humble enough to know where he goes wrong, but strong enough to know where he's going. I found his insight inspiring - and his sense of humour!

 

With strength and gentleness your kids will feel loved and safe. They'll know your expectations and limits clearly and know that your love is consistent when they make good choices and poor choices.

 

Thanks for joining us this week. I'll put some notes up on my blog so you have something in writing to refer to: Here's the link

 

And if you love strong, gentle parenting, you'll love my book; Parenting For Life. It's lovely to hold, lovely to look at, lovely on a coffee table quite frankly. And choc full of great ways to raise strong gentle adults from very small. Here's the link, with a 25% discount to my listeners.

 

Responding to Disrespectful Behaviour

What do we do now and in the tweens and teens when they're behaving rudely and uncooperatively? How do we stay calm and help them to express themselves in a kinder way?

This week we look at tools for refining; tools for connection and ways to respect ourselves so that our children do too.
