The best parenting questions in the world. A Happy Hour Conversation with Jack Pransky

The best parenting questions in the world... with Jack Pransky

 I'm delighted to share this conversation with the utterly wonderful Jack Pransky about a subject he is awesome on: parenting.

Dr. Jack Pransky is a Three Principles Author, Trainer and Practitioner: a Coach of Coaches and a Counselor of Counselors. Jack's worked in the field of prevention and community organizing since 1968. He wrote the fabulous parenting book "Parenting from the heart" which I highly recommend.

Jack talked about these questions to ask ourselves when we're speaking to our children:

1. Am I feeling love in my heart in the moment?If I'm not, now is not the time to discipline.
2. What is my child learning from what I'm doing?Is that really what I want my child to learn?
3. How am I seeing my child in the moment?I am the one who is making up what my child is like in this moment - and I'll get more of what I see.
4. Why is it important to me that my child does this thing I'm asking?Why would this be important to my child?
5. Do I really know what's going on in the mind of my child that driving the behavior?How can I observe and listen to better understand?
