Hey First name / friend Let’s talk parenting. I remember so vividly the moment JR and I got home from the hospital with our oldest - and realized - holy crap… we’re parents. |
|
A couple of weeks ago, I had a conversation on parenting with Michelle Gambs, a psychotherapist, parent coach, and author of Stay Away from Option D. I’m a kid from the 80’s - so some of this more progressive parenting stuff can be a little hard for me to wrap my head around. But this convo made me really take a look at a few things I was doing and make a few adjustments. |
|
🎙️ Here are a few topics we covered: |
|
- Confronting the feeling of guilt and finding peace
- Michelle's expert advice tailored for different stages of parenting (with kids in high school, middle school, elementary and preschool - ahhh! - this was huge for me)
- The power of proactive parenting and the mantra of quality over quantity
- Overriding the instinct to overprotect and raise independent kids
- Family meetings and how they shape capable and confident kids
- Differentiating between punishment and consequence (this one has already made such a big difference in our home)
