Peaceful Parenting with Luke Adsit

In this episode, James L sits down with peaceful parenting coach Luke Adsit, joining us all the way from Florida. Luke shares his journey from traditional discipline to conscious, connection-focused parenting—drawing from years of research, personal growth, and one-on-one coaching.

We dive deep into:

• Natural consequences vs. punishment and rewards

• Understanding children's motivations and emotional needs

• Why projecting our dreams onto kids can backfire

• The cultural shift away from communal parenting

• Building trust, consistency, and better communication with your child

• And the courage it takes to challenge generational norms

Luke also reflects on his own experiences as a father, and the emotional work involved in parenting differently than how he was raised.

Whether you're a parent, caregiver, or just curious about how to better support kids in your life, this episode is packed with wisdom and practical strategies.
