Episode 31: How Releasing Control Can Help Fully Step Into Your Power as a Parent with Hannah & Kelty of Upbringing
/Do you ever hear your mom's voice come out of your mouth? I know I do!
As we evaluate our parenting, we realize that what we do is reminiscent of how our parents raised us. And this traditional way of raising our kids, lead us to control, yell, isolate, and punish our kids when they resist or when they feel big emotions. If we continue this path, our kids will eventually pick up what we teach them and bring this with them into adulthood.
A couple of weeks ago, we talked about the "No Rules" Approach with Dr. Jacob Kashiwagi and learned how letting go of control can help our kids decide on their own what they want and who they want to be. And then last week I shared how releasing control around food and sweets has helped my kids develop more self-regulation with food.
But in this episode, we are going to further learn how releasing control can help you fully step into your power as parents and how this can help our children grow more fully into the amazing human beings they already are.
Join me as I sit down with two wonderful women of the Upbringing, Hannah and Kelty. They are twins, moms raising their kids and themselves together, and certified coaches of parents for sanity and social change movement. Their general goal is for parents to grow along with their children specifically elevating their discipline practices one conversation at a time. And that's exactly what we do in this conversation!
Here's an overview of what you're going to learn:
The daily struggle of kids' resistance, how hard it is to support, and why it's important to encourage it
Why traditional discipline does not help - controlling kids' resistance through punishment teaches them to control others that way
The need for resistance for our kids' development, our relationship, and our collective future!
