S1E4 | Exploring Attachment Parenting and Unschooling: A Shift in Perspective

Join us in exploring attachment parenting, respectful parenting, and unschooling, where we examine the strong biological connections and implications in our parenting choices.

We unpack the misconceptions around attachment parenting and discuss how a values-based unschooling life can emerge. This episode helps you understand the nuances of attachment parenting and the importance of forming secure attachments for a child's growth and development.

Listen in as we tackle the challenges of mainstream parenting that often conflict with our instincts. The impact of societal expectations and norms, as well as our own childhood experiences, are discussed in depth.

We look at how rules set by experts can lead to a disconnect from our instincts and biology. We share our thoughts on the importance of providing a safe environment for children and how trust and respect are key elements in attachment parenting.

Finally, we explore the concept of unschooling and discuss the damaging effects of micromanagement in parenting. We stress the importance of open dialogue, understanding power dynamics in family conversations, and exploring reasons behind a ‘no’.

We will illuminate the natural consequences of unschooling and how it fosters exploration, growth, and a secure attachment between parent and child. Tune in for this insightful discussion, which will help you reflect on your parenting choices and their potential impact on your child's life.
