Parenting From Fear Versus Parenting From Delight
from Unprocessed · host Lia Avellino
In this episode I explore what I believe all the parenting advice is doing to us--it's making us feel like we should be implementing interventions constantly. It also is hinged on the belief that we should do these things so our kids don't become bad people. This is preventing us from delighting, from putting ourselves first, from feeling peace. Listen in to learn about how I am approaching parenting right now and how I analyze this sociocultural moment as a nurturer.
