#57: Raising Cooperative, Kind and Compassionate Children with Michaeleen Doucleff of "Hunt, Gather, Parent"

What can we Westerners learn about raising intrinsically happy, self-sufficient, and helpful children from the Maya of Mexico, the Inuit of the Arctic Circle and the Hadza of Tanzania? Well, it turns out, a lot!WEIRD cultures (Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic) have been making parenting unnecessarily more difficult than it was designed to be. From helicopter and free-range parenting, to distracting children instead of intentionally involving them in quotidian household responsibilities, we are unwittingly becoming the source of our modern-day parenting grievances.With the help of Michaeleen Doucleff, mother and New York Times best-selling author of one of our favorite reads, “Hunt Gather Parent,” we break down modern-day parenting myths and turn to our much wiser, indigenous peers for the practical tips we’re all yearning for when we are in the trenches of motherhood.Resources: Buy "Hunt, Gather, Parent" from Michaeleen's website!Let Grow: Leading the Movement for Childhood IndependenceSupport the showTHANKS TO SPONSOR:Wild Nutritionist!Use code MOTR to save 35% off Mama Baby Biome Method AND First Foods PlanStay Connected With Me:Subscribe to Moms Off The Record on YouTubeJOIN THE MOTR PRIVATE COMMUNITY here Book a potty training 1:1 consult with me hereDiscount codes & links to my favorite courses and products hereLove Moms off the Record?
