Why 'Talking Nicely' Isn't Gentle/Connected Parenting
Manage episode 471140510 series 2568118
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 Episode
- Misconceptions of gentle and connective parenting
- Using empathy, not lectures or punishments
- Limits and consequences as teaching tools
- Helicopter parenting versus resilience-building
- The power of play and special time
