🌪️ What paradigms are we building? (Part 1)

This week on SCRATCH THAT, we process the great and ambiguous responsibility of creating paradigms for our kids — the context for what they will understand as "normal" — the scripts/stories they have about themselves, the world, and their relationship to it. Holding our curiosity in the forefront and never tying any tidy bows, we swirl around our own inheritances and the ones we're passing along. And if you would like some actual tools for navigating this wobbly territory, we can't wait to share next week's very special interview with you!

Tune in to hear us talk about:

🧳 The "cargo bay of baggage" we're bringing into this conversation.

☃️ The great allure & potential harms of creating cozy-snow-globe paradigms.

🌿 The desire to build flexible/stretchy paradigms that grow & evolve with us.

🎢 The uncomfy lack of control we have over the paradigms our kids are forming.

📆 The unspoken values we are teaching our kids through our deeply engrained daily actions.

🎞️ Trusting the process of long-arc relationships & human development.

🤸 Playing with new frameworks for paradigm building (e.g. Relationship over rules, or curiosity & openness over mandates & prescriptions. ) 

🌱 The importance of tending to our own deep beliefs and lasting paradigms.

We would love to hear from you! How are paradigms manifesting for you in your parenting and/or re-parenting experiences? What kind of paradigms are you wanting to build? What ones were built for you? How are you reshaping them?
