Peace and Parenting: How to Parent without Punishments What My Daughter Really Thinks About My Parenting
Have you ever worried that being "too soft" might set your kids up for failure in the harsh realities of life? Or maybe you’ve heard that using connection instead of consequences will spoil your children. Today is a special episode for me because I sit down with my oldest daughter Esme, who’s just about to leave for college, to reflect on our 18-year parenting journey. Together, we debunk the myths surrounding connective parenting and explore how it has shaped her into a self-assured, empathetic young adult.
In This Episode:
- Misconceptions about “soft” parenting and discipline
- How empathy fosters resilience and self-esteem
- Benefits of letting kids learn responsibility
- The impact of no punishments on long-term behavior
- Encouraging independence through connection
