Sarah is a certified Master Trainer in conscious parenting and a Board Member of the American Society for the Positive Care of Children, she’s also a public speaker, armchair neuroscientist, and most importantly, a Mum/Mom. With training in child development, trauma recovery, interpersonal neurobiology, improv comedy, and play, her work supports parents and caregivers around the globe.In this episode, Sarah and I discuss:Why Peaceful Discipline? Why, from a brain science perspective, do so many punishments end up failing or even backfiring;Is peaceful discipline for all kids, or just sensitive ones? What about strong-willed children?Why do we need to be parent-centric in how we approach behavior, rather than trying to modify our children's behavior? What does that look like?What about when peaceful discipline is hard for us? Do we have to parent this way ALL the time?What if parenting this way doesn't come naturally?What is story teaching? Does it work for all ages? What if I'm not creative? When do we use it?Episode Links:Purchase Sarah's book Peaceful Discipline from Booktopia here.Sarah will be offering parent support sessions soon - join her mailing list to be included and get a discount.Follow Sarah on Instagram here. This episode is proudly sponsored by my membership, the Natural Super Kids Klub.
