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
