Conscious Parenting | Why Our Childhood Impacts How We Parent with Gillian Schaill

This week I’m joined by my very good friend Gillian Skahill, a conscious parenting coach based in Galway. We have a fascinating conversation about what happens when our children trigger us, how our own childhood can influence the way we parent, emotional regulation, connection and understanding children's behaviour. Gillian explains why behaviour is communication, why children need to feel safe, soothed and seen, and why repair is such an important part of parenting when things don't go right. We also chat about technology, getting children outside, family life, managing multiple children, our inner child and why there is no such thing as perfect parenting. The big takeaway? Have compassion for yourself. We're all learning. We're all going to get things wrong. But we can pause, reconnect, repair and keep moving forward. A brilliant conversation with Gillian. Stay classy. Keep it organic. Get on that good stuff.
