In this episode of the Peaceful Parenting Podcast, Corey and I break down 8 myths about peaceful parenting that keep coming up on social media. We discuss the nuance involved in this parenting approach and what it really means to be a peaceful parent.

We talk about:

• 2:09 Backlash about Peaceful Parenting (PP)

• 4:07 How nuance of the approach doesn’t come across on social media

• 5:31 Myth 1: Parents need to be calm all the time

• 9:48 Myth 2: The child’s needs and preferences are more important than the parents

• 17:29 Myth 3: PP is not realistic or actually possible to do

• 21:13 Myth 4: There is one way to do PP

• 27:22 Myth 5: PP is about never making your children feel bad and shielding them from all pain

• 29:49 Myth 6: PP is the same as permissive parenting

• 30:15 Myth 7: PP is just a bunch of scripts and it’s robotic- you can’t be yourself

• 33:20 Myth 8: Standards are too high and lead to perfectionism
