ep # 34 
Mallika and Ashley have a conversation on raising children inspired by topics from the book Hunt, Gather, Parent by Michaeleen Doucleff. 


You'll here us talk about: 

  • The lack of meaningful work that children have the opportunity to engage in culturally 
  • The pressure that comes from an expectation of parents always enjoying their kids 
  • Finding a balance between focus on self and community 
  • The potential benefits of inviting children to work on family needs from a young age 
  • Shifting our internal orientation to acts of caretaking home as a sacred  
  • Link to Kim John Payne's Simplicity Parenting 
  • The power of presence in tantrums 
  • Simplifying the way we ask for kids participation is daily tasks 
  • Letting go of expectations that child will change behaviors quickly 
  • Raising children to be embraced by life that's bigger then them 
  • The importance of children integrating the needs of others
