Episode notes
Instinct vs. Reflection
- Parenting is partly instinctual, driven by our upbringing.
- Reflecting on your childhood experiences is crucial for positive parenting.
Parenting Styles
- There's no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting; every child and family is different.
- Authoritative parenting, balancing sensitivity and boundaries, is generally considered most effective.
Breaking the Cycle
- Be aware that you tend to repeat your parents' patterns unless you make a conscious effort not to.
- Reflecting on your own upbringing allows for more intentional, and potentially different, parenting choices.
